What do you mean by “gave birth earlier”? Hyunwoo (the son) was born while the dad was with the mom, although he wasn’t literally at her side in the hospital. (￣∇￣")
Like he was expecting her to give birth 4 weeks later but she went into labor early. It could mean she just gave birth early at 36 weeks or she lied about how far along she was originally and was actually full termYk.
I get what you’re trying to say, but births aren’t always as punctual as you’re making them out to be. If it turns out that Hyunwoo is not his son, that’s fine. However, if he is, he would have been considered a preemie baby with a 100% survival rate (obviously).
Some women have given birth at just 22 and even 20 weeks, although the survival rate for the tiny and frail babies is low (but not zero). For the opposite end, it’s not horribly unusual for a mother to go past 40 weeks, although the longer the time ticks on, the more dangerous it is for her.
Also, most women don’t even give birth at exactly nine months anyway. So, with Hyunwoo being born four weeks early, it means almost nothing to me. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Anyway, I’m not upset or anything. I just wanted to explain the other side of the coin.
I get you. The fact that pregnancies range is common knowledge. But thats not the point im making, as a story it makes sense that the only reason they emphasize that she went into labor unexpectedly but also quickly glaze over it is if it was gonna be used as a plot device somehow. Whether he is or isnt his son is what im questioning, not the legitimacy of a 36 week gestation. I am aware of how pregnancies and development works, i never made a point of pregnancies being punctual, just pointing out possibilities. He very well could be a preemie, but he could be full term/ late/ early and she lied. Just to clarify, i meant she could have lied about how far along she was because it was before her and the MC got together. U get me? Not trying to sound any sorta way, but its annoying when someone misses the entire point and tries to explain something completely unnecessary. Its like mansplaining (dont misconstrue this as me assuming ur gender. I have to explain myself bc ik u get confused. I meant how it makes me feel. It makes me feel the same as when a man explains something that i didnt need explaining. U get me? ). This convo wouldnt have started if u had not questioned my common sense and dug a bit deeper into what i was saying maybe. Sorry, this comes off rude and it really is not that big a deal, but u annoyed me.
Well, I think you just took it in a bad way. I mean, you sure made it sound like you didn’t understand pregnancies, so I’m sorry for assuming you didn’t. And like I said (and you probably missed that in the beginning of my reply), I agreed with you that Hyunwoo might not be his kid. So no, I didn’t misunderstand you or “mansplain.” I was just trying to be helpful since it didn’t seem like you understood (or maybe even forgot) said common knowledge.
The story didn’t “glaze over” anything, in my opinion. It was a plot point to show that the dad is a selfish, self-serving piece of shit that couldn’t even pretend to care about his wife. It was very clear to me that the author/artist was portraying the character in that way since he not only lied about his recital being changed and was golfing outside the country (trying to butter up executives related to more piano recitals, I believe) instead of being nearby in case his wife needed him.
Hyunwoo being born early caught his dad in the act of being an asshole, which I’m pretty sure made people fully aware of his true self. The wife already seemed to know, but she used that to her advantage since his reputation was already bottoming out when he got caught (and yet he was still begging for more time in the spotlight).
(Again, not “mansplaining,” just clarifying my point of view about the situation. Please don’t take it personally that I write long replies. I like writing.)
Oh, and I’m just going to say that I responded to you before reading the newest chapters! And while you were right that Hyunwoo is not the old bastard’s child (and I agreed that was a possibility), there sure was a twist in that reveal.
Man, what a complex, emotional, and twisted story this is… Amazing, honestly.
Hyunwoo fucked up but the way his parent treated, esp his dad, i feel bad, but not sympathetic at all to the dad. Selfish ppl like him scare me. Also, he prob not the real dad, considering she gave birth earlier. As fucked as it is, i wanna know, i feel like this might be one of those stories that just go deeper and deeper into shitland and the ending is either one if them dies and the other loses their mind or both their life just get fucked. This cant be saved, if thats proven wrong, no its not.
