I can kind of see it from both sides. Both sides are broken in their own way, for very different reasons, and sometimes it's hard to not think that someone else's problems seem trivial compared to your own. When you see it in the perspective of someone who's poor, not smart, and has an abusive parent- Jinhyeong's problem of just seemingly having a father who's "nagging" (obviously it's way more than that), it seems like nothing. Honestly I blame all the nosy people around them that make status and finance such a thing to hold over highschool students. Like why tf should it matter. Even if Jinhyeong doesn't care for him being rich, to other people and people like Song-Rik, he's still privileged. I think the line "the 5000$ you spent on me, isn't the same as the 5000$ I spent on you" really sums it up.. Song-Rik truly laid himself bare. He seems to be someone who struggles with trusting people (obviously, because of his past), so he felt secure in Jinhyeong's presence. But when Jinhyeong says "I'll go back to my real family", he's still got a safety net of a family to fall back on, which Song-Rik doesn't... so I can understand why he feels betrayed, cus he truly has nothing left. But I DO NOT condone Song-Rik's actions in response to this 'betrayal'. To use someone else's struggles that they told you about, to get back at them... that's low. And it just goes to show how quickly people in school turn to bullying and harrassment as soon as things don't go their way, and how quickly people will pile on and join in...
