Mh no apparently Taehwan's problem comes from a sexual assault when he was younger, Taehee explained a few chapters ago.
His reaction was totally predictable and it was why they hid it.
Ooh yes i almost forgot abt that!
But I also think he will calm down (or Taehee's gonna snap anyways lol) and that he just needs time.
I’m not happy with how taehwan reacted but I understand why he did so bec:
1. He trusted dojin to take care of taehee as an older bro, and he saw that dojin and taehee’s relationship was a betrayal of his trust
2. Imagine having to live with people who betrayed you. Even if you’ve had good relations with them for many years, you’d still likely feel angry and violent towards those who you’ve felt betrayed you. In this case, kicking out dojin was his reaction bec:
2.a. He cant kick out his own biological brother. Blood is thicker than water.
2.b. Bec dojin is older than taehee, he tags him as the more responsible party; therefore in taehwan’s eyes, dojin shouldve known better
3. Homophobia as a norm + past trauma. Established biases and preconceived ideas are not easy to escape or change. Even if he cares for them, accepting homosexuality will still be a big wound and hurdle for him personally. Irl you can see this a lot with “christian” parents w lgbt kids esp if they firmly believe homosexuality as a sin or illness. They surely love(d) their children but for them this is an abnormality and betrayal.
Anyway, my optimistic ass firmly believes that despite his anger rn taehwan still cares for them. I wanna give him time to stew over this initial anger and hopefully he’ll be ok with the two of them soon and let them have their relationship in peace. (Or lack thereof because of the noise they’ll make while fucking).
