em i mean it’s clear that dojae is neurodivergent or even autistic since he doesn’t understand social cues hence i don’t think it’s glamorizing jealousy in any way. the author doesn’t portray it as hot or possessive or some shit like that but rather focuses on how jealousy is an issue in their relationship.
You spoke my mind!! The author definitely made sure to portray it as how it should be: annoying and stifling, but Euntak navigates through it excellently well.
He must really really really love Dojae
this! i dont think this is a toxic relationship at all because they’re both trying their best and communicating, but because of their inherent differences they face certain problems understanding each other. i think the author does an amazing job writing a realistic relationship between two very different people. and other people might not agree, but i think this is a pretty healthy relationship so far. theyre both willing to take extra steps for each other and meet halfway, and communicate their feelings, even if they disagree. they even made a system for themselves for when they fight so it wont escalate or leave misunderstandings.
Y'all if your relationship is like theirs, you both need therapy or to not be in a relationship. It's extremely unhealthy to be so jealous of a friend that you lash out at your partner in such a petty way. That's a common manipulation tactic that abusers use to isolate their partners from their friend group. It starts as "don't shake their hand" into "don't hang out with them" into "if you see them again we're done". This is a fictional story yes, but don't be fooled by how the author is glamorizing this level of jealousy. That is not normal
