The spoiler about Dohyun tho..
Why tho? Why are you not a green flag?

I got this information from someone who read the novel and copied and pasted someone’s telling the entire story. So here you go. SPOILERS!!
“Dohyun does know that wooyeon is the kid he used to tutor. He knew from the moment he met him in chapter two. he decides to approach their relationship different this time around because when he was hired to be wooyeon’s tutor, it was to report information to his mother.
Dohyun was abandoned at eight years old and since then, has had the mindset of using others to excel. The first time he does this is through wooyeon’s mom, which is how they know each other in the first place. Wooyeon’s mom finds him an adoptive family and when he enters university, she asks him to tutor wooyeon.
Dohyun was very nice to wooyeon, and we later find out that he genuinely cared for him during their time together. dohyun was so used to being wanted on a superficial level, and wooyeon provided him a more authentic connection. this does lead him to leave for the military though, because at this point wooyeon is 14 and he is
Dohyun decides to approach their relationship differently this time around and it is when he figures out that his feelings for wooyeon are romantic that soohyang (wooyeon’s mom) calls him up and basically guilt-trips him into telling wooyeon the truth. here is where i think dohyun messed up. a
Dohyun doesn’t tell wooyeon the truth until they are together and have already had sex. it deeply hurts wooyeon (understandably) and then the rest of the novel is dohyun asking for forgiveness and them getting back together.”

Some people complaining about this story without even reading the whole story lol

Im guessing you mean you would also track them, be jealous of friends, and have someone monitor them if in Sunbae's shoes? I can more or less agree to that to some level. The rape and duplicating the apartment key without consent to break into the place was a lot though. Specially bothered me because the story always presented them jokingly as "look at how crazy Sunbae is hahaha".
I don't personally think the story sucks tbh. I do think Sunbae improves a lot with time. That's shown in how vastly different his reaction to the pregnancies were. First time around he was happy because he could use it to entrap Hosik. He didn't care how freaked out Hosik. Second time around his whole reaction was out of concern for Hosik and his well-being. I also love the historical side story.
My actual beef is that this story has the "cute" and "adorable" tags. That shits concerning to me. While there are some cute parts in the story like the babies and whatnot, there's a lot in there, specially in the earlier parts, that is objectively not cute. Cute is something like Kawaii Hito by saitou ken.

I don’t agree that it was rape.. He genuinely taught Hosik was consenting after asking about his feeling and him responding normally and even moving into the physical touching.. it was only after he passed out that his hang over hit him and made him forget…The duplication of the key I believe his mom gave him permission(I need to re read it) .. but hosik and his friend does tell him what he does is wrong but he genuinely doesn’t know if you don’t tell him and he does try to fix his bad habits

I'll disagree with you there. You can simply ask yourself, had Hosik been completely sober that night, would Sunbae have made physical advances and would Hosik have consented? When it comes to the night they first had sex:
1) Hosik has flashback of regaining consciousness in the middle of it and telling Sunbae to stop and Sunbae didn't stop
2) Sunbae knows Hosik is black-out drunk in that party and even verbally acknowledges it. Not only that, he was the one who pushed Hosik to get drunk. Someone who is drunk cannot give consent. By the time Hosik gets to Sunbae's home, he is still visibly drunk.
3) The day after, Sunbae coerces Hosik to keep doing it with him in exchange for clothes so that Hosik can return home. Just so we are clear, using coercion for sexual acts is assault.
In the context of the story, these interactions are treated as jokes. None of it is supposed to be taken seriously. But from a real world perspective, it's not actually a joke and for some people it's upsetting that something so serious would get treated so lightly.
I'm happy to see that she didn't embrace him back when he hugged her..
