Yeah, I especially feel bad for him because he genuinely doesn’t remember anything. And honestly, I think deep down he’s insecure about his sexuality. He gets super defensive whenever another guy compliments him, and he leans into that toxic masculine behaviour, like yelling or throwing punches, as if that somehow makes him more of a man. It’s classic closeted energy. So for someone already struggling with shame about who they are, to then be completely dehumanized on top of that…it’s just too much digest.
I can’t help but feel bad for Jiwook. This was probably the last time he truly felt happy…walking home drunk, smiling to himself. He looked so peaceful.
