i liked the guy before, but he watched soyeon "kill" herself. he didn't "love" her enough, he didn't stop her from destroying herself.
oh, and soyeon's just fucked up.
Well, this IS NOT real life, so calm your titts or balls if you happen to have... and take as what it is, a F*cking FICTIONAL book -.-
i was just giving an example, i wasn't implying a direct relationship---i mean with all my favorite rape and abuse yaoi, i know it's all fictional. (づ￣ ³￣)づ maybe the usual 'okay heres a sad backdrop to make you somewhat pity the bad guy' thing is getting overused, and somewhat lazy writing. which is kinda annoying.
when a story tries to somewhat justify a crime or some shit. whatever you experienced in the past does not justify your current actions. in real life, murderers who were abused before aren't excused from the law.
