certain subplots of this story are lowk dumb as hell, esp the way the 3 love interests are written, but the overarching msg is honestly written rly well a traumatic experience in your adolescence can quite literally damage and shape your perception of something… jiheon felt unlovable and unwanted bc of the betrayal he experienced with his first love. it later resulted in him avoiding any type of emotional intimacy with another person. he primarily seeks value thru “meaningless” sex bc he’s scared of getting hurt again. and so the people who end up loving him actively deals with the consequences of his trauma… but thru heeseop, he feels like he can be loved unconditionally, yet there is still an underlying fear that lives within him self sabotage can ruin ur life
