it's not love. it's obsession. This author in particular has a track record of this seen in their previous work as well. It's not surprising a good majority of webtoons use this method to express passion. I've noticed this and have seen that it has become a pattern if not only a generic standard to move a plot along. Make Me Bark, Love is an Illusion, Window to Window, Lover Boy, etc. I could go on.

It's not a healthy form of love and should not even remotely be considered one. And it bothers me that this has continued to be seen as otherwise because these authors continue to depict them positively, regardless of the harm that befall their characters or how readers begin to identify with these depictions as a normal communicable love language.
