Ok don't. Be the little apathetic little bitch you are who can't understand how the world works aside from your own small, predictable world view. Bet you never once worked in retail to see how people act nor ever seen someone with a worse situation than your own (or maybe you're a mf who thinks your situation is the worst. Bro, get over it, if you ain't a starving child or someone in the middle of war, get over your goddamn self when you're judging others for how they act).
This DOES justifiy his behavior. Someone who doesn't have anything wrong in life will only know good things. Someone who only knows abuse will only know abuse. And child development in the first like, 5-7 years are crucial for personality development. Guess what he knew? Abuse. How can you give mercy to female victims of abuse or worse, but not to men of abuse or worse? You think they're supposed to be tough? Are you fucking sexist? Maybe it's YOU who needs a character change lmao.
He met his trainer when he was six, and even then he barely trusted him. The kids the trainer introduced him to bullied him on his first day lol. The environment he was in still was in a world of violence. And then, violence will now get him money. His mother distances herself, so she has no "feminine" or motherly love to show much emotion/empathy. His father is an abusive asshole who exude actual toxicity and he might associate that with "masculinity" (his father beats him, his trainer allows him to be beat for money).
So HELL YEAH, I can understand why he did the things he did. He has trust issues, he wanted an escape from the pain, he wanted to prove to his father something, he wanted money to find his mom, etc. Of COURSE I'm gonna feel bad, and I bet the MC will, too, but because he now has a slight bit of backbone, he's probably gonna help the ML recover.
HEAR THAT? RECOVER. Abuse doesn't just magically go away. You need THERAPY and someone to help you. Did jaekyung have that? NO. WHY DO EXPECT HIM TO BE PERFECT??? MFs who are saying the title that I wrote, yall need to check yourselves. This isn't some fucking fantasy land bullshit where consequences of other people's actions DONT RICCOCHET.
