She wasn't actually. She ran away from an abusive relationship and left Hyesung there....not that his dad would have let her take him though.....she met a new partner and moved on. Hyesung thought she was dead....no one told him that, that's just the only conclusion he could draw for why she didn't come back for him.
I’m sorry but she is. She left ALONE leaving her child knowing the dad is abusive. A good mom would take their child and protect them, even if they had to struggle out in the streets. She also could’ve returned for him when she was settled but no, she completely ignored his existence and started a new family. So clearly she didn’t care for him.
SHE IS A BITCH.
She TRADED her child for freedom. She could leave her child if she has no choice, then she can watch and keep him safe from afar. YET, SHE DIDN'T EVEN TAKE A MOMENT OF LITTLE CHECK UP FOR HER OWN CHILD. She went and build another family. Trying to bury the past, INCLUDING HER OWN CHILD. When the end family know about her past, they left her. DESERVED, who want to be with someone who abandoned their own child.
Y'all have abandonment issues irl or something. Many women have to make choices like that. Struggle on the street? So expose the kid to even more danger, potential starvation, assault, or even death? I'm not saying that what she did was okay, but all these comments trying to project characterizations onto her are just wild, and I am saying this as a real life therapist.
Look you can say that she had her reasons for leaving him but I fear that does not disregard the fact that shes a bitch. Like the other comments said, if she truly cared for him she would have came back for him. But she only did that when she had found out Hyesung had gotten married. Not to mention, one of the first things she tells Hyesung when they meet again is "You didn't come looking for me either?", what kind of mother says that to a child that they ADMITTED to abandoning?? And IF SHE TRULY wanted what was best for Hyesung, she would have left him and his family alone! Im sorry but even though I understand she had her reasons and that she was also a victim to her husband, it doesnt change the fact that shes a bitch! Two things can be right at once!
Maybe y'all need to go back and read the first manga again, his dad took no interest in him, he even says his dad left him to go live with his grandmother, and he did not have to see his dad. His dad also remarried and had children, and acted like Hye-sung did not exist. His dad thought that he was an alpha, and so he did not get the same treatment that his mother did. Hye-sung is mad at his mom, because she came back to get a divorce, but did not come back for him. He is upset, because he created her to be a perfect victim in his mind, and found out that she has selfish parts of her just like his dad does.
Neglect is abuse, and that still isn't what happened between him and his mother. That so many are willing to sympathize with Hye-sung (which is fine) but ignore that his mom was about his age when she was groomed by her first husband and married out of convenience, was physically abused when her husband's business failed, and then SA'd when her husband decided to traffic her to other alphas.... I can very much see how she'd want to run away from any reminder of that including her own child AND Hye-sung is valid for being hurt because none of that was his fault. Heck Hye-sung did the same and the only reason he came back was that he'd bonded with Dojun.
Abandonment is not neglect? I’m sorry but while I understand what the mother went through and all, it doesn’t make it any less disrespectful of Dojin to go behind Hyesung’s back and see the grandma?
I feel like you and I are on two pages. Nobody is saying the grandma is worse than the grandfather (dad of Hyesung), it’s the fact that Hyesung made his wishes to go no contact with her and Dojin is lying to him.
I’m lost on what your point is. Both parents abused him (neglect and abandonment is abuse, and if you disagree then we’ll just agree to disagree cause I’m not arguing about that) Period. No one is saying she wasn’t abused by him either.
People hating on her is because she contacted HIS son after going no contact, extremely disgusting on her part. Imagine going no contact with your abuser, only to find out she’s contacting your son without you knowing. As someone who has gone no contact with an abuser, i would lose my fucking mind.

I know this is Byuls story and all BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY HAVE TO BUTCHER Hyesung!!!
"I hope mom meets grandma too" BOY IF YOU DONT SHUT THE FUCK UP
