These people have never read or known about slow burn romance and it shows. Also falling in love and getting together isn't just a simple fantasy to be fulfilled quickly. Sometimes it takes YEARS to DECADES for people to finally get together. Gyeol has been nothing but a good acquaintance and a proper ADULT. And Winter has been doing well despite his trauma he was coping and trying to function as a member of society. I think we're finally gonna start seeing progress between them from now on.
literally don’t understand how so many of y’all have managed to turn gyeol into some manipulative pos, stringing winter along. he absolutely isn’t. he cares about winter, and has romantic feelings towards him as well. he doesn’t want to put either of them at risk by beginning a relationship. gyeol has tried to take care of winter. has he always gone about it in the right way? no! still, he’s tried his best, and given the circumstances he’s helped a lot. like, seriously, it can be really hard to help someone dealing with trauma & mental health issues. you want them to better, as soon as possible. its tough. gyeol has been selfish in some ways; still, he isn’t some asshole. he’s treating winter the same as he had been before winter confessed. he cares about him. i don’t see it as “he’s stringing him along,” but i can absolutely understand why winter would feel as though he’s getting mixed signals. i can understand and empathize with both of their perspectives. neither of them are bad, at most they’re just a bit emotionally stunted. definitely not manipulative, or malicious in any way. they care about one another, and they’re sweet together. if yall want an actual pos, go read jinx. until then, can’t wait to see these two as boyfriends ^^
