I think she thinks that he likes the girl with the short black hair.
Who? The male lead? When would she have thought that?
The black haired scum of a guy. At the end of ch.3? Or 4? I think, the blacked haired guy comes back from “walking” the black haired girl home or to the station and unnie says something along the lines of too bad you couldn’t really talk to the girl you like. I might be interpreting that part wrong or missed something tho.
Okay, you got that right but that does not preclude Blondie from knowing that the scumbag has been in love with her, Blondie, for a long time and taking advantage of that knowledge to manipulate and twist the scumbag round her little finger like a pretzel.
As much as I don't want to say it, Blondie is most likely as much of a problem as her dirtbag cohort. Having grown up with him, she can't possibly not know that he's in love with her or that he's a complete scumbag. Until she proves me wrong, I will continue to believe that she's been enabling his contempuous behavior for years because it makes her feel superior. I just feel really bad for the male lead having fallen into the shithole between these two. Having to put up with the dirtbag's behavior for fear of offending Blondie is one thing, but her stringing our nice male lead along is even worse.
