it’s not meant to “excuse his actions” it’s meant to show you how sometimes, even when you go through the same shit, you can still repeat it. the best cases are that someone who’s been abused, doesn’t want to do that to anyone else, but sometimes, you have cases like this. cases where they get put into a situation that rewards violent behavior, and they end up repeating the cycle trying to be “better” but they don’t even realize they are doing the same shit. then they realize it, and finally decides to be better, THAT is what the author is painting. not excuses, but real life, the parts that are shitty and people wouldn’t want to accept.
i want jaekyung (the current one) to be a decent person sooo bad unu but honestly even knowing about his past doesn’t justify how shitty of a person he is now, you would think the trauma would make him at least a little more understanding of dan’s situation but i meannn this is a case of not dealing well with trauma. again, i just want him to have some character development, i need to see him being vulnerable TnT
