preach sista
like i truly cannot believe it. jinhyeong is literally being bullied because he told songrik he didn't want to move out right away because he knew they'd struggle (which was the correct assessment, mind you) and because he wanted to mend his relationship with his father. even if you take the "real family" line out of the equation, this is the gist of the reason behind why songrik thinks it makes sense for him to partake in psychologically torturing him at school. and i'm supposed to think his feelings of betrayal are just as meaningful. be serious.
NO LITERALLYYY i did not know their relationship would fall apart that badly and i cannot make any excuse for his songriks actions
none of us could have seen this coming like i knew it would be bad if they haven't spoken in a decade but i could have never guessed it would be THIS bad, holy shit.
i feel like i am losing my goddamn mind seeing this comment section right now. what do you guys mean "they're both in the wrong"? am i in the twilight zone? god, yes, they are both children in extremely fucked up domestic circumstances, but are we truly going to keep acting like anything jinhyeong said or did held a candle to songrik's treatment of him here? songrik is suffering terribly from the abuse and abandonment he's endured, and he's emulating the same shitty behavior towards jinhyeong here, so now he's the same as jinhyeong's father despite insisting he's the better option.
i'm at the point where i simply don't care about what jinhyeong said, he didn't do anything so wrong to deserve this from him at all, and songrik has truly done nothing to warrant being defended this fiercely by people here. the same thing he's been doing this whole time (invalidating and making light of jinhyeong's abusive circumstances) is merely being amplified to the maximum right now. the moment jinhyeong did something he disagreed with or made some kind of mistake that triggered him, this would have always happened. in the end, the reality is that jinhyeong never abandoned him or turned his back on their plans to move in together, and once again, his words were ignored. even if he said something hurtful, songrik is a complete bastard for this, full stop. abused people can still be shitty people; them being abused is only an explanation, not absolution. feeling sorry for songrik is reasonable, but let's not pretend that what they did is on any kind of equal footing when it's not even close. if he and jinhyeong ever meet again (and i'm kind of hoping they don't), i truly hope songrik is a better person by then.
