after reading ch.22-23, i don't think the dad cheated? (possible misconception could've been prevented if the author/artist had shown the wedding before sua's first entry into the house)
ml didn't come across as hostile towards his dad or stepmom (i assume he'd have been so if they were cheaters), just standoffish. i think his dad just remarried and had a kid while he was still in middle school... maybe he found it difficult to accept a stranger as a "replacement" of his mom and adjust to the new family dynamics? idk
the awkward tension between ml and his dad, however, could be bc they're not good at communicating their feelings to eachother and bc the dad is a typical "strong pillar" asian dad typa character (that's how it seemed to me)
Just by looking at the younger sister in chapter 22, the dad cheated on Chan-uk's mom. I'm calling it now. It's odd to have basically the same hair and eye color but a lighter shade on step child that you "didn't help to create". ( ̄へ ̄)
