it's always so heartbreaking to see couples of the same sex having to set times to hold hands or hesitate to show pda. i'm hoping in the future i would be able to hold hands in public with my partner without criticism from ignorant people <3
just a quick question (that many people have probably already asked): is the story at all any different than smurf's world? is there any parts that are changed? cuz i wanna read this but it's long and i don't wanna reread it if nothing changed or is there like any chapter i should start off with that's different than smurf's world?
i think they just changed the name for the new season
ah i see
bro he literally didn't do anything you know what he does and still got involved with him so how are you gonna get mad at a box of toys that you found after snooping in his room make it make sense
bro i hate them both. yahwi for being an arrogant jerk and cain for being sus af. cain just popped up out of nowhere with his "master" talk like girl what.. that would make me so uncomfortable.. and yahwi thinks everything can go his way and everything will be fine. jooin just needs to be an independent king or find someone else who will treat him perfectly. there's so many other options than these two bestie don't mind me taking out my frustrations on yahwi and cain ♂
And the best part is that his name literally is the scientific name for a dog
LMFAO STOP ♂
you see the thing is, consent is when both parties are agreeing to doing something, in which they both agreed. although, dojun was visibly uncomfortable and actually did want to stop but told the doctor the opposite just so he doesn't make him upset or hate him. if the doctor picked up on him being uncomfortable and still didn't stop, i'm not sure if it really could be considered rape (it should in my opinion) or if it actually is. maybe the doctor really didn't understand how dojun was feeling and thought it was okay to go further which he is doing. i'm hoping they stop and talk about it though because it's saddening to see dojun clearly against what is happening but feeling like he has no choice but to consent. it doesn't look like the doctor would though since he already got his yes to do it.
note: just because someone isn't being held against their will and screaming stop, doesn't mean it isn't rape.. letting things slide like this isn't okay. it's like you're dismissing what the victim went through and thinking it's fine as long as they don't say no. don't be a rapist and protect rapists
honestly, in my opinion, the way they both grew up is the cause of this argument as well as the way it ended. obviously it was also the context that played a role but both of their pride is a key factor here.
from what i see, jiwook is a guy living in poverty, relying on this scholarship in order to continue going to this school to become a lawyer. as for seungeon, he is a rich guy with family problems causing him to have his own issues (like getting violent) while also being really smart. seungeon falls in love with jiwook, doing whatever it takes to be with him even if jiwook doesn't reciprocate his feelings. he uses studying as an excuse to hang out with jiwook causing jiwook to not get his proper education. he lands 12th place while seungeon lands 1st place (if i remember correctly, or he was just high up there) and jiwook feels betrayed and toyed with causing him to blow up on seungeon.
from his perspective, seungeon wasted his precious study time to just play with him. seungeon being so hung up on jiwook, consistently offers to pay for all of his expenses through everything which crushes jiwook's pride. jiwook came from a poor family, is poor, and so that reflects on how he wants to strictly work for his money and accomplishments instead of being given opportunities. he's dead set on not getting help from anyone for some unknown reason. possibly from past trauma. being so prideful usually comes from somewhere so it could just be his poverty or something yet undiscovered.
from seungeon's perspective, he's so in love with jiwook, he has sub-claimed that he's doing everything for jiwook. he basically just wants to be in his life and make it easier for him. what he doesn't understand is that it's deeply hurting jiwook's pride and with that pride coming from somewhere, it could bring up past events that jiwook doesnt want to visit again. seungeon has never dealt with money problems so he could never fully understand what it is that jiwook is feeling. he understands that he has high pride in his academics and money, but doesn't realize that his way if trying to "make things easier" is actually making it harder on jiwook. he's clearly unaware of the impact of his words and actions.
they both recognize the flaws of each other but they don't fully recognize their own flaws. gathering all the information, i believe that the argument was needed and jiwook didn't overreact. jiwook is just feeling his own feelings and sharing them with who he felt these feelings towards. both of them definitely could've handled the situation better but how they reacted is a reflection of their differences and their cultures they've come from. wrong things were said from both sides, which i do admit, it mostly came from seungeon but you get the point . if the two of them want to start a relationship, they both need to improve themselves and reflect. jiwook has already realized it, i'm hoping seungeon does too.
anyways, this was just me rambling. continue on with your own beliefs and opinions! <3 (take a shot everytime i used 'reflect' or 'reflection')
you put your whole heart on that text, didn’t you?
bestie i absolutely did, so many people were bullying the characters, it got me fed up ♂
gosh you resumed to the whole thing so perfectly!
honestly like you said i think jiwook’s pride doesn’t only come from poverty. There’s a lot of persons who’d die to be in jiwook’s position (have easy money) and the fact that jiwook wants to be successful with his own merits it’s really incredible !
personally, i could really relate to jiwook *a lot* so i have a bit of a bias towards him. i think that's how i could explain his situation better than seungeon's
my pride is also very high and it came from not just one situation, but multiple that i would like to bury and put behind me forever. i guess this "connection" i have with jiwook made me realize that it's not just his poverty setting him off, it's most likely something added along with it!!
yeah same i have a lot of pride that’s why i also understand Jiwook.
Even tho my entourage hates that part of me i can’t do anything about it lmao. I think having pride is a good think (even tho you should know when you have to be prideful and when not)
Finaly some else who also mention they both recognize the flaws in eachother but not their own. Your comment/analysis is *chefs kiss*
^-^
