They only disappear like that when they die. The first "Fake" suffered before he died and burst into a petal explosion. So as long as they don't receive a fatal injury, they can feel pain, bleed, and get bones broken. Perhaps if a "Fake" had a limb severed? But I think the disappearing is also in conjunction with the Game and Doyoung's condemnation. Meaning no one would disappear unless Doyoung made his decision. But that's just my thoughts on that.
Also, I don't blame the Hyunjin who ran or think that reflects poorly on his character. He just watched himself get ripped apart by thorny vines; I think panicking is a predictable response. We also don't know what he was thinking. We don't know what any of the 'Hyunjin's are thinking, and that's on purpose.
That's actually fair enough, I think I would have done that too in all honesty I guess I didn't think about that first lol. It's a natural reflect to want to run when faced with danger. But dayum, he still tried to leave the dude tho I guess that just means he doesn't really like Doyoung the way he likes Hyunjin
The way Doyoung likes Hyunjin is a bit obsessive and, to an extent, creepy. I will grant him that crushes can be like that sometimes, but his handling of his 'love' was immature. That's why the first Fake struck such a chord within him. He never did ask Hyunjin how he truly felt. He only observed him. Objectified him.
Hyunjin is a laid back, sensitive, emotionally intelligent guy, so even if he did like Doyoung I don't think it would be the same way. He strikes me as the type to take the other party into account before taking action or making decisions.
Although he didn't do that when he bolted... Unless he was thinking he could go get help?
This concept is actually so interesting. I kinda knew that the real Hyunjin was the disabled one because his arm didn't get turned into petals? Maybe that's just the manager controlling what happens to them tho, so I'm not sure. But I love this manhua already Im also not gonna lie, Hyunjin is pretty dayum hot But the bad thing about his character is that, IF the disabled Hyunjin is the real one, then he just tried to dip and leave Dongyun
