Oh and ik I write a lot, but this is for the ppl who have good attention span lmao, I just wanna get all my thoughts out there:
It’s not normal for a person to be afraid of their friend’s reaction to their new relationship. It’s not normal to feel the need to sneak around and avoid their friend when hooking up with someone new. This is exactly how teens act around a helicopter parent. I saw ppl mention how minwoo is rightly worried cause his friend is suddenly changing so much. Nah it’s because mc now realized how much minwoo polices his own relationships. Now that mc is forming a new relationship that doesn’t involve minwoo, he’s opened his eyes to how the world actually works. MC was already suffocated and uncomfortable with minwoo’s monitoring, this was a long time coming. MC blowing up at minwoo meant that he’d been holding it for so long.
you're a lifesaver. i was just about to ask if minwoo was gonna make trouble for them bc i was feeling a little fishy abt him. i didnt realise he was that guess i got to steel myself against his pretty face
It’s actually so crazy to me how many readers are actually as naive as the mc here (maybe even worse than mc). The amount of ppl who hate on mc but praise minwoo is insane. Luckily there’s a few actual smart beings here who recognize how bad minwoo is. It’s really sad that I have to break it down for ppl. I’m gonna point out all of minwoo’s flaws:
It’s concerning ppl don’t realize any red flags about minwoo. He IS obsessive and controlling. Just cause he’s his childhood friend and was traumatized doesn’t mean he has the right to control mc. Even mc’s sister went through the same thing that night and isn’t as obsessive or controlling as he is. She has actual good balance of being cautious but knows mc is an adult who should make his own choices.
There’s GOOD reason to think he’s obsessive, minwoo LITERALLY admitted it himself TWICE. He straight up said how he controls mc because he benefits from it, and how he is obsessed with him. In chapter 1, Mc points out that minwoo doesn’t even like it when he’s in a group chat with new people. He polices who he gets to be around. He forces mc to stop seeing ml and literally monitors him and stays at his house in order to keep him from leaving. He kisses mc in his sleep. He loses his shit and beats ml unconscious just because he saw mc and ml mutually making out. While also calmly takes mc away while he’s about to get gangbanged. He can keep his cool when there’s an actual concerning criminal act right in front of his face but can’t keep his cool when he’s jealous seeing a consenting act. Like cool you saved him, guess you’re redeemed and chose to act like an actual normal friend starting now. Minwoo’s character is literally the starter possessive borderline Yandere friend ML in other stories.

And I really hope I don’t see any minwoo dick riders come to his defense with the excuse that he’s better than ML. Quite frankly idgaf about the ML or the mc for that matter. It’s obvious ML isn’t a good guy either. I just like pointing out flaws in a character when most of the readers don’t seem to realize it. It’s like in order for most readers to get it through their head that a character isn’t 100% good, it has to be on some demonic level shit explained to them bluntly. (Although I do wanna point one thing out: I saw all minwoo and ML’s interactions and it’s surprising how chill ML is around minwoo. Even as he faced minwoo who beat him unconscious, he doesn’t even have any feeling of wanting to get back at him or lay a hand on him. He doesn’t like him but he’s not quick to jump to violence).
