People can be mad if they want to...? This has nothing to do with Yuri's parents' deaths. That's a cop out. The problem is that Yuri did the exact same thing to Jaerim that he did to Dong Gyung LONG before the fire at his apartment took place. If he hadn't BEEN like that in the first place we would never have had him blaming Dong Gyung for the fire, after all. So, please people, remember, opinions require proper reading of a story just as much as anything else does. I have never blamed Yuri for how he reacted to his parents' deaths, after all, no one should, so that wouldn't make sense.
Up till chapter 80.... I think that's the story is moving very fast but at least problems are being discuss.

Discussing the issues with Yuri... Many seems to hate his actions in the last couple chapters but I still adore Yuri a lot.
Yuri suffer a very tragic past and to prevent himself from getting hurt he has develop a tendency to run away from his problems. For example, never relying on others, locking his problem in a pendant, being mean to ugly people.
This method did help momentarily to stabilize his heart, it also made him a coward, quick to escape from anything that could hurt him any further and very insecure.
That alone, made every action that happened so far very understandable. However I could see that Yuri is starting to change.... even before their relationship really started. In the early chapters when he talks about how he hate people like Jaemin who do things for other, etc... I feel like he was talking about his former self... Especially more so when I actually saw how he was in the past and how the tragedy change him... but in the end... he still falls in love with Jaemin and did his best to chase him.
I thought that was amazing and admirable thing that he did... He straightforwardly tackle the feelings in his heart.
Back to the last chapters Where Yuri was running away from Jaemin and Dong Wu? (Scar face dude). At the time I was also mad at Yuri for being a coward and running from them but looking at the chapter where we see Yuri drunk and was very honest to himself. It broke my heart... Yuri did his best as the vice president while doing multiple part time jobs at once.... yet still unable to fully express his pain which bottle deep within himself... It was sad and unbearable to watch.... You could really feel how much he is suffering...
Or the fact that he knows that he's a coward makes him feel like he doesn't have the right to make anyone else happy... that's why he thought Jaemin was better off with another man.
However, I came to realize that Yuri isn't as cowardly as he seems or at least there's still hope for him. Like Yuri said.... If I was a good man, I would let you go because he could make you happier than I can.... but I can't... I can't let you go." (or something along those lines). Some part of him wants to just escape the pain from his past... but deep down he knows that he truly yearn to be by Jaemin side... Or the simple fact that he came back for Jaemin.. means that he still haven't become a complete coward... there's a fighting spirit lies deep within that he just have to find once more... I also feel like although we solve Yuri's running away issue (at least Jaemin broke through the tip of the problem)... Then this rape situation happening now is better than it happening later.
it is an issue that has to be address (the bullying...) and in order for Yuri to start fully accepting the pain he needs to overcome this situation himself... Otherwise he will truly never be free... hmmm. I guess you could say that Yuri is like a lock bird in a cage..... so even through Jaemin has open up the door to the cage... if Yuri doesn't leave the cage himself he'll never be able to fly free.
Likewise I'm kinda glad we get to see a situation where Yuri has to confront his feelings and emotion. Otherwise I feel like Jaemin will just end up as a replacement for the pendant.
Now.... If Yuri would fly free and stop running away from the the issue... It'l be great... Maybe apologize to Jaemin? Or at least Jaemin gets mad and Yuri have to beg for his forgiveness...
Sorry if I ranted too long. This is my own opinion... so don't get too mad if you don't agree.
Can't wait to see the next couple chapters.
