Brunette? Did u mean red head?
The redhead is a separate story, but the brunette, by his own logic, has no right either, not after the sexual harassment that everyone so quickly forgot about.
Yes and that's why I have more respect for Hyunwoo for hearing redhead out and letting Iltak know that no matter who he chooses or doesn't choose-- it is his choice. He did not try to be possessive or stop red head from confessing, and he did not try to sway iltak's heart, but instead he took a step back and ultimately said, "you know I like you and he likes you too, but it's your choice". And I respect that. I think the fact that he did not try to sabotage red head's confession shows that he understands that he has no right either, and he is able to reflect and still have dignity as a man to step back and realize Iltak has the power here.
Maybe it makes sense, of course.
But for me - once a predator - always a predator. Zero trust, as you never know what else can trigger him.
And as for me, his behavior is much more disgusting than the redhead's. The redhead was an asshole from the start, the brunette got offended that the guy he likes doesn't want to become a gay bottom for him, and in response to an honest admission of "I need your friendship to be protected" he started to behave worse than the redhead.
And betrayed trust is worse than no trust at all.
But, in any case, this is just an imaginary world, and of course we will get the endgame from the cover, and there is no reason to take it too seriously, so this is just thinking out loud.
And by the way, the brunette also has no special right to anything, according to the same logic, that he will spew out after what he did (no, we do not forgive such things).
