"Alex's behavior should not be a surprise"
What kind of fucked up relationships were you in? Sex only relationships are not like this. Least treat the person with dignity. I wonder why people are completely letting Jiwon off the hook when it comes to this situation when he is partly the blame for it.
This wasn't a sex only relationship though. It was for Alex, sure, but DG's feelings are pretty obvious.
Alex had been an ass since day one other than him hitting DG all that he has done leading up to this chapter has been in character. DG should have known that when Alex said sex only that's all he meant. Cause that's been explained to him already. DG fucked up and dug a hole deeper for himself and Alex is just a huge ass as always.
Because they keep just repeating what Jiwon said but not factoring in when he said it, how he said it, and the times his action contradicted it. It's a written and visual medium, there's visual cues between the literal lines, but much like Jiwon, what is said is given more weight even though the speaker is unreliable. If this were a transcript Jiwon could go back and point to the times he said "no relationship". But it's not. We know what he was thinking and feeling around the times he said those words to both DG and himself. They don't line up perfectly. It was just an excuse to treat him badly and blame DG for it if he ever expected better.
It shouldn't be a surprise because Alex has been a total dick since the moment DG exposed him and hasn't really toned it down since. He seems pretty comfortable with his shitty personality because he knows DG is weak. The fact that DG still pursues this relationship despite being exposed to Alex's true personlaity is no better than the trope about girls that blindly date a "bad boy" because they think they're special and eventually the guy will change, or the one where the girl goes on one date and suddenly they're dating
I never said Alex is completely blameless it's just that in these last two chapters, DG is making really dub decisions.
I can't with DG. There's a limit to how delusional/naive you can be. I get that he loves Alex but it's like he completely spaced out when Alex explained the terms of their relationship. Alex's behavior should NOT be a surprise, he wasn't in love with u and he didn't want to date u.
HOWEVER that's no excuse for Alex to hit him like that (╬￣皿￣)凸
