I really can see how jinhyeong developed social anxiety. He failed in having his one real friend; whol came naturally btw. As an overthinker: it would be a lot harder to have a friend again: like Am I doing this right? Am I going to lose this friend also? What’s the meaning of friendship anyway? And you just end up losing all your social skills and lose all people around you too.

I know how songrik feels. I was like him one day. I had a friend like jinhyeong. She really had problems with her father and friends, me too. But she wasn’t like me; her father actually loved her even if he wasn’t the perfect one but he loved her; her friends too. Meanwhile I gave up on all my friends just for her; she wasn’t my solitude. But I wasn’t hers. My dad didn’t love me not even a little, my friends were fake, and in the end I was completely alone. She was a kind friend, jinhyeong is kind too, but we really lived in a different world.
My grandfather was forty when he married my grandmother mother; she was 22. They really did get along and suited each other. I loved them both, I never noticed the age difference.
