That is where you are wrong, Wonyoung did do something bad. That is a fact. Wonyoung lied about a multitude of things in order to get close to Taejoon, even when he knew Taejoon was going under a second identity when he met Wonyoung, and got close to him for selfish reasons, at first. Also it was known TJ was in "hiding" and WY had been reporting on his location and actions in the beginning. WY was in the wrong and it wasn't something minor/trivial. Let's not get it twisted, TJ deserves to be mad and cut ties with him for that at least.
Taejoon said he would/could have forgiven Wonyoung if he had told the truth first, like literally the author and TJ said that if he told the truth like even a hour earlier they would have been fine, but WY chickened out bcuz he knew he did wrong and was afraid he'd lose what he had with TJ. WY kept it a secret further tarnished any trust TJ had in him. TJ was totally justified in not wanting to have anything to do with him. He doesn't owe someone who used a lie to approach him anything.
We the readers know that although WY may have not be innocent or faultless in his early interactions with TJ, he regretted them and was sincere in his liking of TJ. Which is why we are sympathetic to WY.
After the events of 35, 36, now is the only time I would be upset if TJ continued rebuffing WY because in this case he is giving him hope. In all other interactions he was clearly distancing himself from WY, but now that he is acting kind again, he needs to settle his feelings once and for all.
I agree,, I worded it weird, what I meant by “bad” is the fact that Wonyoung never tried to manipulate Taejoon into the collab and never gave out information to his company to have a leverage over Taejoon’s career. Wonyoung always thought that Taejoon must have a reason to leave behind his well known and successful life to live in a secluded area where people don’t know his true identity. While it was wrong of him for first approaching him with selfish reasons soon his selfish reasons vanished and he just truly wanted to get close to him because of his feelings. Yes he should’ve told him the truth the moment they were confessing their feelings, it was dumb of him not to since that was obviously the biggest issue/secret in their relationship. And Taejoon doesn’t need to get back together with Wonyoung or even forgive him but in my opinion I think it’d be better for both of them to talk things out instead of running in circles, so they can both get some closure and whether they’ll continue the relationship or not is on Taejoon. Once again Wonyoung is in the wrong but again what I meant by “bad” is he didn’t do anything to tarnish Taejoon’s life or manipulate him the way Taejoon thinks. And at this point it’s frustrating to see how they’re both too cowardly to talk to each other bc truthfully I feel like Wonyoung could’ve already told Taejoon the truth or at the very least messaged him the truth and from there decide if they want to talk in person. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Okay, I see what you meant and I agree. TJ not seeking closure is him projecting his past hurt (that butt-face ex, he ain't even cute (╬￣皿￣)凸) onto his relationship with WY, definitely.
Yea, if TJ just took some time to listen to WY, even when he was still angry/hurt, they could have closed this chapter in their life so much early, whether they decided to remain apart or get back together. Especially since WY wasn't looking to get back together (per se), but to resolve the misunderstanding.
But what other ways are there to spice up a romance other than to add drama borne from misunderstandings and miscommunication, kek? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
PS- I do want them to get back together, saying this in case a gave off the feeling that I did not.
But in other news, I must admit, this (for now) is one of the best cases on misunderstandings I have seen portrayed in a BL. Usually all the other ones are caused by ridiculously stupids actions (or the fact that one of them just didn't bother listening to the end of the damn sentence) and just should have never happened. This was a well-thought out break-up misunderstanding, even if it isn't perfect, that didn't make me want to throw hands or pull out my hair as much as some other ones.
Literally all they’d have to do is fucking sit down and have a nice long chat but Taejoon wants to be a prick and not listen but still gives Wonyoung false hope? Like come on how stubborn does a person need to be? Let’s be honest Wonyoung didn’t do anything bad, he met him by chance and just told his company that he happened to see him, he got close to him to ask if a collab was possible but in the end he didn’t even ask for a collab or sell out his information, he even went as far as dropping the project and the company but it was his superiors fault for charging in right when Wonyoung was going to explain （￣へ￣）
Anyways thank you to the team for continuing to post <3
