Great way to build a mutual, trusting, loving relationship, right? Dipshit. I was rooting for the ML, but now I'm not so sure he's worthy of her. I hope the FL finds out, and soon before their "date," that the rival doesn't have a girlfriend and she cancels the date with the ML and goes with the rival instead.

I think he just panicked and lied due to it in the moment. He’s not someone who would calculate a lie in order to be with her but his panic led him to doing something he normally wouldn’t do. Yes he should probably tell her and his feels along with that but saying that their relationship is broken and he deserves nothing from one lie is a sign of unrealistic relationship and friend goals. If he continues to do it it an entirely different story tho.

Sneaking off somewhere with just you and that dirtbag, no, that won't add more fuel to the rumor bonfire, now will it? You think the rumors were bad before, how are you going to complain when they get worse after people have witnessed you and the dirtbag going off somewhere together, leaving your friend behind? Man, you just keep making one big moronic mistake after another. Are you just so very dumb that you're incapable of learning from experience?

and as much as I think that sunbae oughta be castrated, I still don't feel an ounce of sympathy for Hyejin. For all intents and purposes, what they said was actually very believable from an outsider's perspective, and Hyejin knows it. She is responsible for her own actions, and must either revel or suffer in the consequences. I just wish that Haejun could get over her. He deserves someone who won't make him feel so miserable.

now you get to see his true colors. And, once again, we get a completely brainless girl who cares more about the 3rd wheel than she does her own boyfriend and even mindlessly follows the degenerate douchebag into his house where he can do with her what he wants. Am I surprised? Nope, not in the least. This is just another cookie-cutter "romance" following along the well-worn, clichéd storytelling path.

Hyejin really should end up alone and miserable. Haejun is such a nice, sweet guy that he definitely doesn't deserve to be treated like shit and he certainly deserves to end up with someone other than this stuck-in-the-past, still acting like a 15-year old foolish schoolgirl woman who can't see how lucky she is to have such a nice guy so in love with her.

Haejun is my baby too but I mean, you didn’t need to bring down Hyejin like that.
She still has scars from her first ever relationship and the fact that she likes the same guy scares her because she doesn’t want to hurt him again. She can’t bear hurt him again nor anyone else.That’s why she’s scared of relationship commitment.

I disagree with this on so many levels. Yes, Haejun is a nice, sweet guy, but this does not mean that Hyejin is obligated to reciprocate his feelings. Why must she love him just because he loves her?
To you, she may seem “stuck-in-the-past”, but the pressure she experienced in middle school clearly affects her a lot, and it’s easier said than done to simply get over it.
The talk that she had with Haejun was, in my opinion, a step in the right direction. It gave her some closure about the break-up and cleared up the awkwardness between them. Though she is still averse to the idea of dating, she clearly knows how she feels about him.
While there’s definitely room for improvement, I think she’s made more progress than you’re giving her credit for.
Shiwon's ex-boyfriend's thought she was controlling, but now the tables have turned and she's the one who's being oppressed by an arrogant, manipulative, full of himself controlling boyfriend.
