They're teenagers
That makes sense
the teenagers I knew were not this dramatic lol
This is Korea, where school violence has become a serious issue. You might not know this, but the suicide or death rate due to school violence in Korea and Japan is alarming. You may have seen Korean dramas where this issue is featured a lot, it's not exaggerated at all. Actually, the story is told from the perspective of the mc, and he’s a bit obsessed and tends to overreact to what’s happening. If you’re curious and want to really understand the details, you can read the novel. It will give you the full story and show how the characters’ personalities influence the events, since it’s all told from the mc’s pov.
Culture difference or maybe you're just lucky enough to not encounter insane dramatic teenagers
why is everyone a goddamn drama queen lol
