if he really can't open up about the explanation THEN SAY EXACTLY THAT. HOW HARD IS IT TO SAY "i have a reason and it's complicated so i need to time before i can say" instead of just "stay away period" god
also yall acting like he was going off with some random stranger when that's literally his bf's brother seo never offered an explanation WHY he should stay away. you wouldn't expect a partner's family to try and make a mess of your relationship UNLESS you explained it or at least gave a bit of context.
This. I reread the manga from front to back and I completely agree. It's a recurring problem in their relationship, Natori being naive and Seo holding back, and it makes sense that it keeps causing them issues. Now, Natori is visibly making effort to be patient and understand Seo's feelings, even when he's not open about them. Seo hasn't been making the same effort.
Honestly, I wish they'd talked about it properly after the transfer arc. Natori seems like he would be more receptive when Seo warns him about people after what happened with Jun, as long as Seo actually communicates with him. After that arc, Seo could have revealed that he'd had suspicions about Natori's coworker, and Natori could show Seo that he'll be more aware IF Seo offers that information.
It would have been really interesting to see how this arc develops after they've made progress on the exact issue happening here, and it would have been a great way to show healthy communication and character development.
exactly
comments acting like natori is at fault is pissing me off ngl. y'all act like he agreed to everything that happened. he did not ask to be VERY drunk, the brother kept offering him drinks. he did not ask to get naked nor get taken a picture of. despite knowing how his brother acts up, seo still found it in him to act like natori consented to all that shit instead of getting angry at his brother for taking an unconsented picture instead.cand seo ALSO finds it in him to still run away despite natori wanting answers? he's literally closing up. he wants to trust his partner? then open up and trust your partner as well!
