TaeSan is just a plot device. His future life seems bleak in his hometown, without success, and he won’t end up with someone violent like Junwoo because he’s straight. If you’re into characters like TaeSan, you might enjoy Jinx. But here, TaeSan is just part of the storyline, so I hope people won’t get overly obsessed with him or keep bringing him up all the time

According to the current chapters in the novel I'm reading, Junwoo still popping in n out of his life. His grandmother is very worried abt him being involved w Junwoo.
He doesn't do well in his exam getting into university.
MC (Jun) gives him a flower telling him to show/brag it to his grandmother so she knows he has other friends too and be less worried abt him. MC also tells Taesan if he doesn't do well in his exam, don't go to university at all, focus on getting a job, he's smart, he'll do well at work. Especially it will help him have money to take care of his grandmother

Well during the bullying and harassment from Junwoo and after Junwoo incident, Taesan had to skip school alot so when he came back he had to keep up w everyone.
Junior still pops up around him so imagine his mental state of having to deal w his ass.
His grandmother's health also doesn't get any better.
So it's quite normal for Taesan to not do well in his exam.
Jun's actions and kindness towards Taesan has always been genuine whether he likes to admit it or not cz Jun doesn't like doing the wrong things. He insulted Taesan cz he didn't think highly of him n Taesan also kept bothering Jun alot (just to thanks him repeatedly) and cz Jun doesn't like to be bothered.
But yea this time he's nicer to Taesan, but he also doesn't want to see him again. He hopes Taesan will do better n do well in life but doesn't want Taesan to show his face around him.
pls, author, do something about taesan
