I genuinely am so confused why Taku is widely considered a victim? If anyone reads the story without bias you’ll see that Taku knew something was up between Haesoo and Joowon, that’s why he got interested in Haesoo initially. He wanted to get in between them. He wasn’t a pure angel like y’all claim. Only afterwards did he actually grow to like Haesoo. And even then, he always compared Haesoo to his possessions. A common one was candy. When Taku felt like Haesoo was slipping away from him he had a flashback of his candy jar being out of reach and the candy falling. Essentially treating Haesoo like a possession and not a human being. Joowon called out his suspicious behavior a couple of time too like when he told Haesoo how he’s worried that Haesoo will get hurt and that Taku isn’t srs about him since Taku never told Haesoo he was leaving Korea. Haesoo had to find out from Joowon. And that’s just one example out of many.
The biggest issue is how people paint Haesoo as the one in the wrong when Haesoo ran to Joowon when he thought he was injured in the final season. He wasn’t because literally right after Haesoo dumped Joowon and right before Taku and Haesoo started their weird dating/ fuckbudy relationship, Haesoo TOLD Taku that he’s not ready to date anyone srsly since he’s recovering from dumping Joowon. Taku INSISTED and told Haesoo he’s fine with it just being a trial run. Yet everyone acts like Haesoo lead Taku on and used him, when Taku literally insisted and wanted it even though Haesoo told him it’s not a good idea. Whats worse is when Haesoo realized who he loves and that that person is possibly injured so he needs to go to them, Taku hypocritically insults and guilt trips Haesoo and make himself the victim even though Taku again 1. knew what he was getting into; 2. insisted anyways even tho Haesoo warned him; 3. and even assured Haesoo that it’s not even official and that he wants Haesoo to use him. And readers read that and agree with Taku that he’s the innocent angel who just got caught up in it? Like no, he brought it on himself.
Also I feel like because joowon is more aggressive and straightforward while takus more passive and subtlety manipulative people like to only label joowon as the one in the wrong. But if you reread every moment Taku and joowon interacted, you’ll see that Taku instigated shit 90% of the time. What made Joowon stupid was that he fell for it and reacted aggressively to it. But it doesn’t change the fact that Taku purposefully started shit. Like the lighter; Taku left it on purpose. Even when Joowon Haesoo and Taku had dinner first; Taku started provoking Joowon on purpose knowing he was sensitive. Yet since Joowon is the aggressive one everyone acts like Taku didn’t do shit.
