Because he had an image to maintain. He had to pretend to be that person so he wouldn’t disappoint that bitch of an adoptive mother. That was never the true Taekyung. The true Taekyung is the one we’re seeing right now. The one who blushes at the sight of Heeseo. That’s always been the real him.
girl phone the police omg??? do you even consider and think for a sec about the heinous things that heeseo did to taekyung? there is no “real him”, you're kidding yourself. the rape, abuse, and crimes was overshadowed by the stockholm syndrome or some bullshit that the author poorly incorporated with their character just to twist the story into mindless knots. but i guess this was perfectly made for you.
I mean maybe its not the 'real him' but just that after all that maybe he just accepted the fact that he liked heeseo and like probably not like but maybe Stockholm syndrome cause that personality switch was crazy and yeah both are him just one is the headstrong version the self independent kind and this is the well 'its a yaoi manga and just roll with it' kind
it's ridiculous when during the start of this shitshow taekyung appeared to be this really cautious, modest, and serious lawyer or something who wouldn't even glance at heeseo twice. but now he's this pathetic swine who’s angy angy because his fucking rapist and abuser slit his own wrist after said rapist stabbed him, truly the best!
