it’s not about insecurity. If you love someone you also want assurance. You can clearly see that Jiwon keeps telling his friends that he is single, he is talking to a friend and all that. If you are in a relationship be it gay lesbian or heterosexual, you should tell your friends you are in a relationship. Jungwoo was introduced as a friend so of course it’s going to hurt him and start acting all possessive and jealous because nobody knows that his partner is in a relationship. I think you can’t sag this situation is because of “Insecurities” Maybe from Ji won but from him is just that there is no self confidence. He is scared to tell his friends about his relationship. Obviously because he is scared they might know he is gay and secondly it might drag down Jungwoos career.
not everyone wants their relationships to be open, and not everyone is comfortable enough coming out and telling the entire world they’re dating especially those who are gay/lesbians. This is even worse in the Asia context where there are still a lot of homophobic people around PLUS, where the elderly population is very huge. Either parties are selfish in their own ways but it’s completely understandable. Yes, if you love someone you should give them assurance. But on the other hand if you love someone you should also take their feelings of not wanting to share that you’re in a gay relationship into consideration. And the bot dude having anxiety makes this a whole lot worse for both of them but it’s not something he can just snap and get over it. And if you look at bot dude’s perspective, he is worried that basketball dude would break up with him in almost every chapter now a days. Why would he want to risk being open about his relationship when he’s scared that he would possibly lose friendships and receive hate from the public?
I get it im
not saying he should tell them he is in a relationship with a man atleast tell them he is not single. He could say its a girl and that’s it. Its just he is portraying himself as single which I understand but I also understand Jungwoo for being mad because of that. No person wants to hear their significant other saying they are single. I think this only needs some communication and thats it. But i still wouldn’t call it insecure.
Ugh how much I hate the whole 'you are out with a friend, you must be fucking them are you?' Like was the point of being in a relationship if your gonna be that insecure and also was the point of making the other person feel insecure too, specially knowing he's new to relationships, is this how dating is nowadays?
