empathy for woojin!!

woo jin’s characterization may seem annoying in how he is reluctant to admit his changed sentiment for minho. but you have to understand that they had a very psychologically tumultuous relationship that lasted SEVEN years. woojin was being gaslit and emotionally manipulated and was financially dependent on minho throughout the entirety of their relationship. he practically had no agency. he could barely even make decisions on his own if someone wasn’t there to do it for him…minho’s influence…he is a victim lol. and as his hangyeol mentioned, he has “an affinity” for easily unhealthily depending on people…after seven you want to complete extricate himself from his abuser at the drop of hat and expect no remnants of feelings? with no psychological help whatsoever? even rn he is convinced that he is the inherent issue in any relationship he forms…that he “destroys” people’s lives (eg. his mom, minho and taehwan) that’s why he doesn’t complain when taehwan agrees to break it off because he feels he has no prerogative to be in taehwan’s if all it cause taehwan is pain…yeah
