*taeseok , oooops I realized I put the wrong name right after I clicked the submit button
you're expecting too much basic empathy and tolerance of realistically flawed characters from yaoi readers with stunted emotional growth
hard facts
this comment should be pinned because im actually baffled by how people are treating dojun
I understand that plot lines like this can be frustrating to read, but I think ppl are being too harsh on dojun. Being in a relationship isn’t easy, it’s even more difficult if you’re struggling with mental illness. He has low self esteem and sees himself as constantly inconveniencing others. It’s likely hard for him to fully conceptualize that taesoo wants to spent lots of time with him. Additionally I don’t think dojun has a lot of experience actually dating people. It’s understandable that he doesn’t realize his actions might have made taeseo feel bad.
It might sound “easy” for him to tell taesoo the entire situation with minwoo, but sometimes it’s incredibly difficult to talk about situations like this. Dojun is still processing the fact that minwoo, a person he looked up to and that provided emotional support to him, was essentially using him. Talking about it so soon, before he’s been able to completely process his emotions, is not easy. I think being honest about his former crush and motivations behind meeting him again is what’s important in this situation.
