I also wondered about that because I hadn't read it in a while, but he didn't! He tells Hajun that he was too young when it happened to know why he has the scar (and the boy being hurt is just Hajun's assumption because of the blood on his sleeve, that's why he believes that yoonjae was the boy from back then) and since they did very briefly meet as children he never lied or tried to decide Hajun, there was just a misunderstanding on Hajun's part
but the author says that he knows how he got the scar! so why would he say he’s too young to remember? ╥﹏╥
Wait really??? I guess I missed that, idk then this is confusing
I was also wondering about that! I got mixed signals from Youngjae, I honestly couldn't even understand whether he was actually unknowingly in love with Hajun or not. I mean, he seemed to be jealous of Sihyun and confused about Hajun losing interest in him in some panels, but then it was never mentioned and he peacefully found himself a wife. Well, all is well now so whatever
To me it really looked like he relied way too much on Hajun, I think the author kind of tripped over themselves trying to make us believe that there was something between them
If you remember what Hajun said to Shinyeon (I 100% spelled this wrong) back in the cabin. Hajun said they were both using each other back then (in highschool).
Hajun was using Yunjae because of how much he looked like Shinyeon. He knew it wasn't him but he was glad Yunjae relied on him because he liked being relied on which is what he discovered when he was younger and met Shinyeon for the first time.
Yunjae was using Hajun because he was small and shy and "weak". He mentions something similar when the situation with the Dean's car happens. He says something like "I can't say those things like you can." (Don't quote me on that, it's something along the lines because it's how he feels, it's not word for word) So back in highschool Yunjae probably knew that if he told Hajun the truth about how he got the scar, Hajun wouldn't want to be around him anymore (cause yk...the real Yunjae he was looking for would've gotten the scar from the truck accident) So he lied saying he doesn't remembered so Hajun would stay around and project him from bullies and stand up for him.
Hajun liked having someone relying on him and Yunjae liked having someone protecting him.
Ooooh that makes sense, thanks!!
if anyone could explain this to me, i’d be so grateful!! if yoonjae was straight, then how come he lied about not remembering how he got the scar on his wrist? just to keep hajun around??
