I completely agree! Like at first I kinda thought junwoo was in the wrong for unnecessarily shouting at wooyeon when it was clear to me he was only trying to help, but I understand why he was acting that way and how it could be seen as wooyeon overstepping boundaries when he didn’t want him involved or in that part of his life since now it must seem so much more real than the sort of fantasy they were living in before when they didn’t talk about their problems (as well as the trust issues)
So, first off, I wanna say that, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES am I a licensed professional in mental health AND this is strictly MY OPINION. You may agree or disagree, or completely ignore this rant of mine. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
The way I see it, both Junwoo and Wooyeon both are in the wrong, but for both, it's understandable, NOT JUSTIFIED, just understandable. For Junwoo, he felt like Wooyeon was pitying him and looking down on him, which comes from the distrust that came from his "friends" who really were only using him. Now, the reason he hung out with those people in the first place was because he wanted to "fit in" and not be an outcast, which many high schoolers/ teenagers do. Obviously, they were assholes. But, when the started bullying him, that felt like a betrayal because he thought they would at least be sympathetic to him after he lost his parents. Which, because they were actually fucking scum, they weren't. After going through all that depression and being suicidal, it makes sense that he has trust issues, because he doesn't know when someone will up and leave or turn on him, which was part of what caused his depression. Now, Wooyeon. He obviously cares a lot about Junwoo, and worries about him, again, makes sense after seeing, at least some of what Junwoo has gone through. Seeing someone he cares about get verbally abused by other people, who, by the way, are supposed to be his "family", would make any decent human being agitated. In Wooyeon's head, he's defending someone he cares deeply about against these MUTHERFUCKERS who are going after said person. However, in Junwoo's head, and objectively speaking, Wooyeon was getting involved in something that doesn't directly involve him. Was it overstepping some boundaries? Maybe? Ok, yes, it did. But was it necessary? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY. That uncle was getting physically aggressive and, had Wooyeon not stepped in, Junwoo could've gotten hurt. Hell, he the best thing he did was call the police. Again, it was because he got involved that now the police know and can at least be somewhat of a barrier between that physco uncle and Junwoo. Then, when Junwoo yelled at Wooyeon, Wooyeon was confused because he thought he did Junwoo a favor by protecting Junwoo from his uncle, but Junwoo only saw it as him overstepping his boundaries, which he kinda did, BUT for a necessary reason. Btw, Junwoo's flashbacks made me cry. Like legit tears, IRL.
