To add!
If at least 1 decent parent had stayed with Hyesung in the past, he wouldn't have had to go being a money-starved idiot on the streets.
But no. His mom abandoned him, leaving him with an abusive dad who eventually abandoned him, too.
The mom was a victim of abuse, too, but just because she was a victim doesn't mean she can't be a perpetrator, too.
Just because she feels guilty doesn't absolve her of her wrongdoings. She needs to repent and to make things right. Just showing up and saying I'm sorry doesn't just cut it.
And the fact that she even disrespects her own son and mooches off her in-laws' wealth and enjoys the happiness that Hyesung had struggled to even accept and achieve? So. Fucking Low.
If the mom stayed with Hyesung right from the start, Hyesung wouldn't have grown up irrational and immature, he wouldn't have grown up gullible, he wouldn't have been too indeniable about being an omega, he wouldn't have been knocked up and forced to keep a kid because he never would've ended up in shady part-time jobs.
The audacity of that woman and Dojin pmo so bad I'm seething man.
I hope Hyesung leave's Dojin's ass man (probably not gonna happen). If that family doesn't respect Hyesung, then what? What does Hyesung have left? He has no family. This is the only family he has, and they don't even respect him. It might be better off living alone than knowing you lived 16-17 years of your married life where your husband lies behind your back and strings your child along to break your trust.
I agree with every single woes you said

Thank you for this fine assessment
clock it.
This is so true
I couldn't have agreed more
After all the shit that Hyesung pulled in the first story, I always find it nice that Hyesung really grew well and parenthood changed him for the better. I will never hold it against him for abandoning a child he never wanted. If a woman was bribed with money to keep a child procreated not from love and matrimony, it's no better than rape.
As Byul grew up, even if someone would say Hyesung wasn't at fault and his actions held meaning, Hyesung still wanted to repent because, for himself, he found it unforgivable to do the same thing his parents did to him (abandoning their child). He felt that guilt and it fueled him to be a better person and a better parent.
Byul is, of course, his own person. He can do whatever he wants including meeting grandma because it wasn't like /he/ was the one abandoned. But the fact he hid it from Hyesung is something just so bitter. The fact that he and Dojin hid that meant they /knew/ it was a bad thing. They /knew/ Hyesung would never want or agree to that. They /knew/ it would /hurt/ Hyesung.
Byul, that was the very woman who abandoned /your mother / and she only returned when things settled for Hyesung. Your very mother who would always protect you and join you in your whims and crazy antics. Hyesung always babied Byul, he did everything motherly and patiently to Byul even if it spoilt him rotten because Hyesung knows exactly what it meant to grow up irrational, immature, selfish, and alone because he never had parents who loved him enough to raise him even if their own marriage and relationship fell apart.
I hope Hyesung never forgives them for that. I hate it even more that the grandma just enjoys all this shit without ever trying to beg to meet Hyesung. Like you all really plotted to have a happy side life without Hyesung. How low, it's like having a family group chat but having a second group chat but without one person.
Whatever man, I personally really hated the taste of that scene. Idgaf if you guys brought up the fact that Hyesung abandoned Byul as a baby too. I would never wish upon someone to be forced and bribed to keep a baby and be so helpless against the omegaverse fate of pheromones and bonding. Hyesung redeemed himself by becoming a supportive parent despite all his shortcomings and despite not being the brightest.
If this shit escalated to a storyline where Hyesung reconciles with that woman for 'Byul's sake' I'm gonna need to read a fanfiction where Hyesung kills himself and changes the trajectory of their lives /j. But on a serious note, I really hope it doesn't go down that path. Hyesung should never feel the need to forgive and reconcile with his deadbeat parents.
