Well I think Eunho had enough
Yes I know Jaeha has bad experiences but we can’t deny he hurt Eunho so many times I can’t even count
And honestly I’m not on Eunho’s side either because by chasing after someone like Jaeha he’s hurting himself even more
And so what if he knows Jaeha for his entire life? That doesn’t mean he has to keep up with Jaeha’s shitty behavior ALWAYS
Everything you've said is a fair and valid response to being hurt by someone you were never truly in love with. I've personally had tons of relationships like that, they were fun to be with and sex was good, but love wasn't what I felt. They were easily cast aside at the first sign of a rough patch. You cut your losses when you are not that invested, it is the smart move to make. However, when you find the person you're willing to go through hell for, you'll go through hell a thousand times and be ready to go a thousand more. Love is far from the cupcakes and rainbows of fairytales and romance novels. When it is real, you don't see the effort it takes to maintain it as a problem. Sadly, most couples today go through more effort to part than they do to stay together. I've been married for 23 years and every moment of happiness we've shared was earned through hard work and effort put forth to bring our relationship as far as it is. Love, like everything else, has a cost that must be paid for it, it isn't free. You must invest to see benefits and you will never see benefits from an investment you walk away from. Would you invest 25 years worth of your salary into something and then just give up the potential rewards? If you would, you're not very smart with money or love. Both require patience and perseverance. This is not a story of a relationship rife with abuse or cheating. It's just one man who has never had the opportunity to experience happiness or what it is to feel comfortable in his own skin. The person who claims to love him should be wise enough to recognize the need for patient understanding or they can't truly claim to love him. If they can't weather a small storm like this, they would be a lousy partner when the shit really hits the fan and should run like the cowards they are while they have the chance. They don't really love him, they love the idea of loving him. I don't think that is how Euno feels for Jaeha, or I should say, that is not how Euno is written. If Euno was the type of character to bail at the first or second hurdle, there would never have been a story to write. Remember, Jaeha was married when this story started and that didn't deter Euno. Neither did Jaeha breaking up with him, we do have a volume 2, after all. Perhaps I am wrong, but most writers who are not jaded and cynical bastards wouldn't consider throwing in the towel on a potentially happy relationship a "happy ending" for any characters. Happiness and "happy endings" don't just fall from the sky, nor are they handed to one on a silver platter. You have to work for them, bleed for them, sweat for them and earn them. That is the point of having conflicts like this that drag on for volumes. It reflects the way happiness is earned in real life, through struggle and effort over and over again. It is sad that so many people today just expect relationships to "work" all on their own. They don't want to work for the relationship, they want the relationship to work for them. That is reflected in the way readers comment about fictional relationship conflicts. It is no wonder that so many readers complain of not being able to find a partner, since they are deluded about how relationships work. I certainly wouldn't want a relationship with someone who had no idea how relationships actually work and thought that love and happiness just "happens" without any effort. I'd be putting in all the effort and have no hope of seeing it returned. That is sad... and scary.
Everything you said is true
But what I was trying to say was that Eunho isn’t the only one to blame
After all,there was times Jaeha hurt him too and it’s a bit unfair to except Eunho to take it all alone and Jaeha should let him help him
I’m not trying to justify Eunho’s actions,but both of them hurt each other,not only one of them and people are completely ignoring Jaeha’s actions
And nobody’s perfect and everyone makes mistakes,but what they need to do right now is talking
Oh no, I think what I was trying to say wasn't made clear. Sorry. I was commenting solely on the most recent chapter posted where it seems Euno was influenced by Jaeha's ex. I agree that Euno is not solely at fault. In fact, he is not at fault at all in my view. Jaeha is definitely the one with issues to be sorted out. I only meant that Euno needs to be patient and strong as he supports Jaeha and not give up on him as the ex had suggested. My narrative was written as if I were talking to Euno as a friend. I completely agree that Euno and Jaeha need to do a lot more talking and less fucking. Unfortunately, I don't think talking is going to reach Jaeha. He is stubborn, but he is stubborn because he doesn't know how else to be when faced with things he fears. Jaeha is a monstrous coward and will bolt when he starts to feel scared. That is going to put Euno through hell, but if Euno loves him as he claims, Euno will have to be patient. He can't bail now. Well, he can, but it would not be to anyone's benefit except the ex who is interested in their separation out of spite and jealousy. Jaeha has lots of baggage... LOTS of baggage. Loving someone like that is not an enviable situation, but it can end up being a happy, healthy relationship with patience and perseverance. I used to be Jaeha, until I met my husband. I mean, it is almost creepy how alike Jaeha and I are. I put my husband through years of hell. So much uncertainty and insecurity. I honestly don't know he managed to put up with me. What I do know is that I would not be the person I am today if he hadn't. I needed his patience and understanding so that I could learn who I was and who I wanted to be. The insecurity I gave my husband was a small reflection of the insecurities I felt about myself. When he showed me patience, acceptance and understanding, I was able to feel secure for the first time in my life. With that, I could slow down and look at myself carefully and objectively and thus find the things I needed to change about myself to be happy. That is what Jaeha needs. Honestly, a lot of people could do with having someone like that who loves them.
Everything you said is true and I agree
But I hope Eunho can actually help Jaeha to get over his insecurities
And sorry I misunderstood what you actually meant
Btw it’s not a bad manhwa
I enjoyed it a lot
It’s not the best but compared to other yaoi mangas/manhwas this one feels realistic
I mean people are dealing with real issues
I hope Euno can help him too. I have enjoyed this story very much myself for the same reason, it deals with more realistic issues, where some others I have read are a bit far fetched with their conflicts and resolutions. The author has made considerable effort to get and keep readers invested in both the story and the characters. They have done a very good job, IMO. I would be interested in reading more from them.
How could you take the words of a jealous, meddling, twat waffle like him, seriously?!?! I'm all about walking away from situations that have no hope, but this is not one of those situations!! Jaeha needs your patience and strength. You have known him your entire life and, unless you screw up now, you will have him in your life until you die. Don't be in such a fucking rush! Is there a fire you have to get to? Let him have some time to get used to what it is like to be happy. He has spent his whole life feeling like he had to meet the unreasonable expectations of others and now, by rushing things, you're asking him to meet another unreasonable expectation. He needs you! He needs your love, he needs your strength, he needs your patience and he needs your support. Don't bail on him now. If you do, you know it will haunt you to your last breath. The douche nugget at the bar has always been jealous of the way Jaeha's eyes soften when he looks at you. You have something he will never have. You have Jaeha's heart. You always have and you always will. Unfortunately, that heart comes with walls around it that have been built there by Jaeha for protection. You can't barrel through them with a battering ram, that's what that idiot at the bar tried to do and Jaeha erected thicker, stronger walls in an instant. You can't just walk up to the gate and be welcomed, that is what you tried the first time and you had the door slammed in your face. This time, you will have to slowly dismantle those walls brick by brick and stone by stone. It may take you your entire life before the wall is completely gone, but once it is, you will find yourself deep inside the heart of the man you love. He already loves you, you know this. Jaeha is just deathly afraid of being truly happy and confident in himself. The poor thing has never experienced those things in his entire life and when he had the chance to, he ran like a scared little house cat. If you chase a scared cat you will never catch them, if you snatch them up and squeeze them they will scratch your eyes out, and if you walk away from them, they will forget you. So, you have to be patient. You have to be there everyday without fail, going about your life quietly in their presence. You have to treat them kindly without seeking anything in return. You have to protect them before they even sense any danger themselves. Slowly, they will come to rely on your presence and eventually trust themselves into your close proximity. Then, one day, when you least expect it, you will look up to realize that there is a cat cuddled up and purring in your lap. Be patient and be strong for Jaeha and you will see that he will start taking bricks and stones away from that wall around his heart by himself. Rush it and he will build a bigger, stronger wall faster than you can blink. You'll never get back inside. And also... never take advice from douche nuggets who failed to cross the moat, let alone put a crack in the wall, like Jaeha's ex. They can only advise you on how to fail as they did. That is their goal, after all, to see you fail as they did. Misery loves company. Now, forget the pointless conversation you had with a failure of an ex and prepare yourself to be patient, strong, supportive and loving for Jaeha. If you muck this up now, I will hunt you down in Yaoiland and beat you within an inch of your 2D, fictional life. Military training, even special forces, won't be able to spare you from my wrath. LOL
