My recent literary inactivity has engendered a regrettable cognitive deficiency.

Might someone be so kind as to elucidate the rationale behind the prevailing animosity toward Taehan? Is the collective disapproval predicated solely upon his expressed preference for convivial intimacy, as opposed to the more conventional paradigm of a romantic partnership?

    It's definitely because of how he expressed his preference for intimacy towards the main character instead of a more conservative and conventional form of romance.

    I mean it totally depends on what you prefer. The ml has his own baggage, but he does like the mc. Because he's older, more mature and experienced he is using it to his advantage to making sure that mc doesn't leave him and continue to like him while he stays at a comfortable distance. It feels like he is a bit manipulative to me( personal opinion). While the mc is stuck - he is immature, inexperienced, making friends for the first time, his high sensitivity and all. I believe he likes ml not woori but woori is also manipulating him as he likes the mc.

    It’s because he only pursued MC out of curiosity and his desire for sex, not because he cared for MC in any way. This was only clearly conveyed to MC after they’d slept together. So it seems deceptive towards MC. Lately you can tell ML has feelings for him even thought he wasn’t seemed to realize or accept it yet. His recent jealousy, while still not wanting to commit isn’t helping his case either. It’s contrasting views on relationships ML is like it’s mutually beneficial but not exclusive, 2ndML on the other hand is serious and wants a committed relationship. We all know there’s gonna be some sort of regret/chase arc and he’ll realize his feelings and end up with MC


    Honestly though none of them are great

    MC is dumb/air headed, indecisive/leads people on, clingy when he should move on, and horny

    ML is manipulative/controlling, avoiding confronting his own feelings/jealous when he set boundaries, and horny

    2ndML is trying to hide his advances behind their friendship instead coming straight out and confessing while being jealous when they’re not together in a relationship, and horny

    Honestly these people should talk and think with their heads instead of their dicks
