And people have the audacity to call him abusive 凸^-^凸
I have yet to translate 67 but from what I can tell, Siwon doesn’t want to be with Seonyun but the level of psychological manipulation is making it appear so. ^^
Yeah, i wouldn't say "abusive", when he hurts Jinha it's usually because of a misunderstanding, it's not intentional. I mean, he definitely gives him a lot of stress with the misunderstandings, denial, etc, but i don't think "abusive" is the right term as that implies informed intent. He's just naive, when he grows and stops jumping to conclusions their relationship will go smoothly, he just needs to learn to trust, as evidenced in ch 64 where he actually lets eveything Xuan said about Jinha get to him. "psychological manipulation is making it appear so"-this i what i've been expecting since he was kidnapped, tbh. Even the incense foreplay scene really just seemed like he was trying to confuse Siwon. He's trying to train him, though i don't think it'll work as Siwon still consciously hates him.
oh my gosh thank you
Honestly, after ch 64 i no longer have any fear that they're going to be together aside from a mild anxiety caused by knowing that Siwon is SO naive that he may shatter expectations and fall for a guy whos argument is literally "you think you hate me, but you actually love me and just don't know it" despite Xuan having yet to prove any of his claims from the chapter... People are seeing the raws and assuming what they see is Siwon giving in, but i find it more likely that we were just given the reason behind Siwon's behavior: the lies from this chapter about "the stone is real", "Jinha must not want to see you" and "the stone took you to see me because even though you're sure you hate me, you love me". I feel the likelihood is actually really high that he just struggles with these lies and while he does Xuan hits on him which creates the "questionable" scenes where it looks like he's a shoujo girl for Xuan, but in reality he's just embarrassed because some dude is hitting on him and he wasn't gay to begin with. Hence the blushing and "omg, what almost happened!". I see people point out the ALMOST kiss scene and they ALWAYS leave out an important detail, it was XUAN who went to kiss HIM, he was briefly stunned and then pushed him away before he could kiss him. As in, he didn't want to kiss with Xuan. It looks like they're having a possibly emotional talk during the walk on the beach, he may have temporarily struggled with what to do for a second because of that. Basically, Siwon being Siwon again, caring to a fault. Like just now when he was trying to escape and he got worried for Xuan because he got injured. The guy kidnapped him, Siwon was borderline crying after trying to escape for what looks like hours and despite all the hate for Xuan that should've built up for Xuan because of this, it all goes away when he sees the injury and is replaced by worry.
