damn you're right. I really hope all the issues will get resolved and seungtaek's anger will be adressed. Also I kind of like that seungtaek is so agressive as a character? It kind of makes him more interesting, like this good student, perfect child but with anger issues (maybe some of it because of internalized homophobia? maybe just the pressure). But yeah, the whole thing seems unresolved, it would be good to have some apology or a closure or something. We will see
Did you forget that Seungtaek was bullied by the guy he beat up? Plus they live in a homophobia society.
which is why i want the story to revert back to them soon. it felt incomplete? like, when they got together, it's sure, cool, cute, and tbh i really do love it—but seungtaek's part of the story just had something missing. this was probably it :/ there was a reason i loved seungtaek so much, and the first reply to this comment just explains it lol
Read chapter 11 again. SeungTaek snaps after Imbeom was bad mouthing how privileged SeungTaek was to other classmates. He wasn’t spreading rumors or technically bullying he was insulting SeungTaek being perfect, and with SeungTaek feelings in regards to having to constantly live up to other expectations, SeungTaek likely completely snapped and took out his anger and frustration on Imbeom who broke the camels back with his comments. SeungTaek is still to blame for his lack of control in handling his anger which is obviously a result of his repressed upbringing.
Granted you could still call what did Inbeom bullying if you’re of the belief that gossiping is a form of bullying which I can and will heartedly say it is given circumstances, but in this case I think Inbeom opened his big mouth and paid dearly for it in a way that did not justify SeungTaek brutal violent reaction.
all this tea and yet seunghee is the most disliked.
i actually adore Seunghee because he's sooooo realistic and is such A MOOD. BUT most just either want a whiny childlike easily manipulated "uke", an overly agreeable human doormat "uke", or the the delinquent tsundere bitch in heat "uke". I just want a normal guy who's finding it hard to be gay and is finding it hard to trust falling in love while navigating highschool, literally the experience of any queer teenager and just soo relatable. Whatever happened to just wanting relatable realistic characters to root for?
I love seunghee too, he's so real. I love how he's distant and sometimes mean and not in a typical yaoi asshole way but because he doesn't know how to deal with people being nice to him. Havent we all been there? And i love how the author is showing the initial awkwardness of a relationship, they are not Just suddenly crazy in love because they decided to date
same here! i feel like he’s the most realistic and there’s a reason why he is the way he is which we’ve all seen. not to mention that he represents a lot of men i’ve seen who enjoy women’s fashion
i think seunghee is just a breath of fresh air and that’s why i love him so much
Is anyone going to mention how twice SeungTaek has violently assaulted someone where they’ve been hospitalized, with one resulting in amnesia and theoretically could have caused death from the the blunt head trauma. Granted the second time was in self defense, SeungTaek stil has some serious anger issues but hides behind a demure diligent façade. I won’t even lie as much of an annoyance Inbeom is, no one deserves to be treated like that. Honestly is makes me even angrier that Kyubin even likes Seungtaek’s so much when Seungtaek did absolutely nothing when Kyubin took the fall for him twice and thereafter has lost even his childhood home because the money needed to pay the settlement towards Inbeom’s recovery was paid by Kyubin’s family so it left Kyubin with less to his inheritance. Has SeungTaek ever acknowledge that this was a direct result of his actions or ever apologized for it. Just them being together theoretically shouldn’t be enough of an apology but I digress. Secondly Imbeom having issues where he felt it necessary to drop out of school and be a delinquent with a middle school education due to need to recover. Tbh a lot of bad things that have happened to either of Imbeom or Kyubin has been a result of SeungTaek’s anger, with SeungTaek just carrying on with his life trying to get into an elite school at the time. I know this is fiction but just thinking about the scenarios involving these three boys really really makes me dislike SeungTaek if you took it at face value.
