ugh i love them, they're gonna be together forever and ever

everyone saying "well, he means well and is just trying to protect him!" is completely off their damn rockers. for starters, being well-meaning has meant very little in the face of the actual outcome since the dawn of time itself. the road to hell is paved with good intentions, not to mention that his brother is acting like an uncivilized dickhead to a complete stranger. and second off, he's encroaching on seunghyun's agency and infantilizing him by telling him to start packing his things and that he's here to make things right, and that he "let" him live his life up until now.

now, is it likely he's overcompensating for his guilt over how his parents mistreated seunghyun in favor of him, and that he experienced an intense amount of pressure from their parents himself? yes, very. in fact, i'd be really shocked if this weren't the case. he's still an asshole and needs to move the fuck around, though. he's thinking that he's being a good brother by "taking care" of seunghyun, but at this rate, he won't be any better than their parents were if he doesn't start acting like he's got some sense.

anyway chaejun and seunghyun are sooooo cute, i've always loved how naturally they fell into step with each other. it's really sweet that chaejun prioritizes seunghyun and shows him that he cares. they're def one of those couples who would never break up
