Sangwoo doesn’t love Bum and never did. The creator even said he’s not gay. Bum just reminded Sangwoo highly of his mother with his feminine figure. (Which should be obvious.)
The creator said that it’s not a romance, it’s a psychological horror. The two characters were never meant to be seen as a romantic couple, it’s meant to be seen as a fucked up relationship and the psychological tolls that can be given to people through past trauma.
It’s crazy how some of y’all can romanticize this shit hoping that they “ended up together and were happy together” because if this were a hetero “relationship”, I feel like all the people romanticizing this would take the issues in Killing Stalking seriously. But because its about two males, some people choose to romanticize the mental/physical abuse while shipping Sangwoo and Yoonbum, because its “cute” :)
It really goes to show how yaoi can start to affect people negatively (rape is very normalized in yaoi) because people are romanticizing behaviors like this.
Also little extra;
I read in an interview with the author that the initial premise was a hetero relationship but because it wouldn’t make sense psychologically (sangwoo is a misogynist) and (not confirmed) that BL does better on Lezhin it got changed.
