Why? I wouldn't punish my son for being curious about his past, and considering that he kept that painful secret they never wanted him to know, I will completely understand why he would want me to meet with his grandmother to talk things over, because even though he was abandoned, he still loved me, apologized, and knows that my love for him is true, and byul probably thinks that her grandmother and Hyesung still have a chance, and if I were the mother I would tell him that things between her grandmother and me are different and I would explain why and tell him about my emotional wound and why a reunion would be impossible
I didnt say he should punish him, I said he could scold him. Like I said I understand that he may have been curious and contacted her. But he knew too it was something wrong hence he kept it a secret. No one that thinks there doing the right thing is gonna keep it a secret in a situation like this. I still think Hyesung deserved a way better apology then this lukewarm one, and he would be in the right too to scold him for it. But hey we all have different views on how to go about certain things. I just know that if it were me I would be way more upset about it then just a ‘sorry’ and glossing over the entire thing. Yes teenagers may be young and impulsive, but they aren’t dumb and are perfectly capable of holding a deeper conversation, reflecting and being held accountable to a certain point about a topic like this. And yes Hyesung is then, I think, in the right to be a little more mad about it and deserves a fullblown apology instead of this one.

I think Hyesung should’ve been madder about the situation, this is the little tantrum I throw when someone eats the snack that I was supposed to be eating. Yes Byul is a teenager and may have done something irrational, but he should still be scolded. Also for the dad; he knew better, on his side it was pure betrayal. I think Hyesung is being done so unfairly, he just gets portrayed as a airhead. He may have not been the smartest but he did always have a backbone and held his foot down when needed. I hoped to see that side of him on this topic too. I just feel so sad for him, my poor baby.
