I heard that Taesan will get married to a woman later on, not sure if its true but if it is then that just confirms what you wrote about the plot not being the typical toxic BL, but one more realistic. The guy who suffers from a trash's one sided abusive love in the end didnt turn gay all of a sudden and didnt come to like the bully, but moved on with his life and married a girl he liked. I really like this idea ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
It would be such a great ending for this character, I really hope it's true and we can see that
The popular scary guy x the kind innocent guy, it's such a common BL trope but what makes this story really singular to me is that it subverts this trope by showing what happens if the kind guy DOESN'T fall in love with the popular impulsive guy
Han Taesan is scared of Han Junwoo, he doesn't feel any love for him and it highlights even more the abuse he is going through since he has no feelings at all for Han Junwoo
It really looks like the usual toxic bl trope but it's what it is in the real world which is just an absolutely one-sided toxic love and a poor guy who got noticed and lives a real hell
It's realistic in that way, not everything gets better because the timid guy finally falls for the bad guy, this poor boy is just getting traumatized here and it's what would most probably happen in real life, even Han Junwoo's "considerate" actions only appear as creepy and too persistent here because they are and Han Taesan absolutely hates it
