I think the emo guy just pretends he wants Haesoo to "decide" and "think" for herself, but in reality, he's subtly manipulating her into choosing what he wants. He’s just influencing her decisions while making it seem like they're her own.
And also I think he’s tormenting the orange guy as revenge for Haesoo lol
Kinda twisted but dont we all love that hahaha

Yeah he’s a manipulator but what I don’t get is why is he tormenting Orange? The revenge isn’t for him to take, that’s NHS’s (na hae soo) call if she wants to destroy this guy or just disappear and move on. PLUS I think we’re forgetting something here… Emo isn’t anything to NHS at all!!! They’re not in a relationship and definelty not married so what really is driving emo to target orange?

I mean, all of his actions are that of a manipulator , everything he does is calculated to appear caring, but it’s really about control. He acts like he’s protecting her when he’s really just feeding his own emotions. Even his 'revenge' on the orange guy is about his own need to feel important in haesoos life.
Also him letting orange guy hit him on the face to have wounds and sht. Come on people, if the author paints him more of a villain, he's a scary dude.

yes!!!he lets carrot head to hit him to fuel the hatred of na haesoo!! all of the things he does will make na haesoo hate carrot head more. and this will make na haesoo depend on him more!!
don't think just because he's the ml, he's going to not push for revenge and shit. there's a monologue of taeha describing haesoo as the withered flower. so probably this will mainly center to the sufferings of mincheol
Just finished reading the latest ch in another site (sorry scanlators but I can’t wait haha) but what even was the point? I feel like there’s really more into the characters than what we’ve been told. Hae soo don’t even give a shit about orange anymore so why is emo so keen on provoking orange? Also Emo could just manipulate hae soo (what he has been doing all this damn time) and ask her to move somewhere else with him. Go far away from orange and live their bestest life away from all this drama.
The provocation and making orange feel like shit just feels so weird unless they have generational beef (past life theory).
Mincheol’s face was so satisfying tho hahah
does anyone else have thoughts?
