oh songrik my everything, i cannot begin to describe how awful i feel rn. this has always been based on class differences and it’s crazy how some people can utter things like “yea his fater beat him up and i feel bad for him BUT-” or “yea he’s poor BUT that doesn’t mean he-”. songrik is a highschooler living in poverty, working to support himself, who’s been abused physically and psychologically all his life with no adult figure to lead him except for his mother who has also left the household when he was little. no matter what he does in life and how successful he may become elitist people like jinhyeong’s father will never accept him in their family like jinhyeong dreamed of. which was such a pure and raw dream from him (his desire to be accepted by his father and still be with songrik) but one that would never come true and songrik is well aware of this fact (he’s being reminded of it every time he puts on his helmet doing deliveries or stepping inside his classroom not being able to openly speak to jinhyeong). sitting at the same dinner table aside, that man wouldn’t even want to exist in the same space as songrik and those like him, from a lower class. so no, songrik was right when he said that jinhyeong would never be able to understand these struggles as a privileged person in this sense as long as he didn’t let go of the high ground he put his father at. but we also know why that was close to impossible for jinhyeong to do at that point in his life especially after the last few months, what songrik did was horrible and such a low blow still, i believe that pointing fingers at one of them saying “he is wrong” isn’t sensible. and i feel like jinhyeong is songrik’s final lifeline and this is my first time thinking about this as im writing but i hope he didn’t try anything after this and is ok right now. because otherwise i certainly won’t be ok
