Youre right
I dont fw the whole "hes a pedo" thing CAUSE this chapter clearly showed it isnt
But im disgusted by taegu catching feeling for yeongwoon cause wtf he literally was a large part of most of his sufferings
Okay he feels sympathy, fuck his sympathy
Its like you stab someone and feel pity for their pain
I lowkey hate him he deserves to stay away from yeongwoon's life

I agree and disagree to some degree lmao reason being that he is confirmed to be the 2nd lead and intrested in him that's why it's so much easier to jump to conclusions when it comes to him since people already know that he's catching feelings for someone he watched grow up starting from age 14 currently what taegu feels def isn't romantic but the fact that he will have feelings for him is already out there

Let’s not pretend this is some simple ‘stab and pity’ situation. This isn’t black and white. it’s trauma, guilt and emotional complexity wrapped in one f*cked up bond. You
hate Taegu for catching feelings i can understand that reaction. But let’s not twist it into some fake purity narrative. You think Yeongwon hasn’t changed too? He’s not some innocent child anymore he’s someone who understands the ugliness.
I also understand that u want Taegu to stay away from YW. But acting like healing or redemption is impossible just because he's part of the hurt? What did he deliberately do to hurt YW exactly??
People aren’t just their worst moments and characters like Taegu aren’t written to make us comfortable, they’re written to make us think. Pretending that sympathy, guilt and love can’t coexist in a character who's emotionally wrecked that's just denial with seasoning i believe

the second lead setup definitely makes people hyperaware, especially when there's a known age gap involved. But I think the problem is less about what will happen and more about how people are already labeling it.
I’m not saying this to deny ur point but do u really think 'watching someone grow up' automatically equals grooming? That completely erases all the emotional nuance and trauma both characters are dealing with.
Some of u who call Taegu a pedo just because of the age gap are so quick to act morally righteous without actually observing anything or understanding the difference between lusting after a child and showing/ feeling sympathy.
know nothing of the context or character nuance .. isn’t morality, it’s lazy thinking Ok ? You guys jump to conclusions without a shred of critical observation, acting like you’re on some moral high ground, when in reality, you’re just spewing surface level outrage without depth (-_-)
Are u all really that fucking stupid !!? That’s your projection, not the character’s. Why does u guys mind immediately jump to that conclusion??? There’s a massive difference between predatory behavior and empathy and if u guys can’t see that, maybe you're not mature enough to even be reading this story ngl
Yeongwon had bruises on his body. He was hiding pain. Any normal adult with a working brain and even a hint of compassion would show concern. But somehow, some of u’all mind takes that concern and twists it into perversion. That says more about u than about the character
I won’t defend Taegu if he ever actually crosses the line into real predatory behavior toward Yeongwon but right now, you guys are blindly comparing him to the worst parts of society and that’s disgusting af
Fix ur mindset before pretending to be the voice of morality. Because from where I’m standing, it’s clear anyone with common sense and emotional intelligence can see the difference between compassion and perversion. The fact that u can't? That's ur problem
