I think the author is trynna depict how fucked up beom taeha’s Idea of love is, that’s why he manipulated her and tried to get her to love him through pity, cuz he thought he’d never win over mincheol. He wanted to monopolize her, not just love her but control her and have her be obsessed with him. I’m not defending him or his actions just trynna explain the authors intent, or how I interpreted it. I think he’s realizing how pathetic he is, mincheol will always have a place in her heart as her first love. He’s so young and immature that makes him feel insecure. Maybe he’s hopefully realizing loving her isn’t lying to her but we shall see, I’m still trynna piece his intentions together lol
There making out ( the rich one) to seem so victimizes as well like rich cant get the girl etc like bro had a chance ans he ruined it by playing it out to be a debt collector like wtf ugh
