It's the worst thing tbh, but I can completely understand why he doesn't want to leave. He has his routine, his plans, he knows who he is rn and is so scared to try anything else. Sometimes, having comfort in what's familiar to u is more important than the unknown future, especially such a spontaneous one that the ml mentioned. And ur so right, mc is literally dying and cannot see it:(
Yeah, I can relate as well. I don't like "change", so changing my whole life in an instant would scare me more than dealing with the abuse that, as awful as it is, I still know how to "handle"
The thing is, the more he stays there the more his limit is being pushed back. There's nothing more dangerous than a "I can handle it" that never stops
"You don't know the half of the abuse" popped out in my mind.
Leewon is so used to being abused that he's not understanding he's just dying inside, word after word, wound after wound
