I actually think its alright for him to act that way. Like normal victims of bullying don't usually stand up for themselves as much or can find the courage to stand up. Unless he becomes like extremely helpless and can only depend on others then I would hate it, but he hasn't become so helpless where the only thing he does is just depending on others, okay actually it is but its just the start, and so thats fine but if it continues for a long time where its starting to get really annoying because of the repeatedness of them being bullied then getting saved by the guy then yeah I would agree.

I do agree with you on that. Though he doesn't think of himself as family to them. His parents passed away at a young age but an old enough age to remember and thus thats sort of why he was so distant from his ''new family '' because he still has a connection with his biological family ( his memories and the photos ) and hearing Taesung say how he doesn't want to be brothers with him, that just lowered his confidence a lot and lead him to believe he was a burden so then he just doesn't want to bring Taesung into his situation nor his ajumma because it would worry her and he's thankful on how she's always been taking care of him.

I understand he can't worry them or is comfortable enough to talk with them..But going home with a bruise on his face is going to worry them more..By the way, correct me if I'm wrong, where is the bruise???!!..Don't they say even a slap leaves a bruise on white skin..He's pretty pale too..Anyway,today's episode he showed some guts..ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I wish Haebom would grow some balls and stop being the helpless uke...I'm all for Taesung punching the bully but hey, it's meaningless with Haebom staying a doormat...SMH.. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
