Why didnt he just tell the truth to the poor boy he was going to be alright as long as he had taekyung with him（/TДT)/ I FREAKING CANT
But... pls remember that Taekyung also suffered... though I didn't like at first how he treated Heeseo like his teacher, he still didn't deserve to suffer like that, he gave him money for his education back when he was younger, the sponsorships....fine it was given with a stranger attitude from Heeseo's perspective, but he tried his best to play the part of a guardian from his side.
Sometimes when we expect too much from adults, we also realise that they aren't as strong as we thought about them. Also, both need to communicate properly, they weren't taught how to handle emotional outbursts, so both expected 'something' from the other party, leading to a disaster. Taekyung also has to carry the guilt of his adopted family doing harm(this is just him being naïve, no doubt)
If you recall, the plot was tilted more towards Heeseo's side than Taekyung and it's alright to choose sides. But Taekyung was right ONLY in the sense of breaking their relationship cuz it would be toxic down the road. He just needed some breathing space and failed to READ the dmn room.
I just want readers to know both characters are flawed, Taekyung wanted to preserve his 'family' even at the cost of breaking up, whereas Heeseo wanted to cling/hold onto something to prevent himself from dying. (I ranted too much, hope u understand the plot without being too judgemental)
True
I don't like where this is going i don't like Taekyung's mother i don't like Taekyung either like he's always hurting hee seo after saying all the sweet words and hurting him again like it's on cycle now i am even happy he got stab and is confined by hee seo he deserved that i am so mad he shouldn't have played hee seo's heart like that
