HUGE SPOILERS!!!
the way bihwan completely sees through minchan pushing him away is genuinely so relieving but also heartbreaking. minchan did everything he could to protect himself from abandonment again, and we can see the toll of his trauma weighing on him deliberately. i mean, his parents and grandma died, his only friend died (and kinda never existed, iirc), and gwonryeom (the guardian guy he lives with that’s actually bihwan’s brother that orchestrated everything) isn’t present anymore + minchan knows something is up with him. every single time he’s been left alone and hating himself, even blaming himself and trying to commit suicide.

for bihwan to be able to see through all that trauma, all his defense mechanisms, his hurtful words, and see himself reflected through his actions, is devastating. both of them are deeply traumatized, with genuinely no one besides each other. the writing is excellent at portraying everything appropriately, can’t wait for the next chapters and future interactions.
ty 2 all who read :’) im just rambling bc i love ts

look i KNOW minchan is endgame because bihwan is in love with him in his current state, we should all just move on from this topic and think about how much it’s gonna fuck up minchan knowing he has literally no one other than bihwan. his only family since his grandmother died was the one plotting it all, the one tormenting him and abusing him, all for the sake of someone he isn’t. (minchan and seoho may be separate reincarnations of the same soul, but they are still separate people with different experiences and lore.)
