Well as much as I do think Haewon is dumb for falling for Seo Hayoung again and again. The manga is doing a good job showing how abusive relationships work, you would believe everything your abuser said also we need to remember Seo Hayoung helped Haewon -financially- that, alone, gives the abuser so much power over their victim. Haewon knows he is dumb, he knows he should leave, he should get away but at the same time, Seo Hayoung its the only he loves, the one who helped him, he doesn't see him as an abuser when he wants to be with him, he just wants to be with him and dissociates from reality. Haewon doesn't want to leave him EVEN if wants to leave him because he doesn't know a life without Seo Hayoung and even thinking about it, for a victim, a life without the abuse its scary because it means to face a reality that sometimes may be worse than the abuse itself.
By the way, please take all of this with a grain of salt, I'm not a professional nor a victim so I'm talking from my knowledge and experiences and sorry if I sounded disrespectful in any way, that's not my intention, its just an analysis of a fictional character ╥﹏╥
