As much as Dojin and Byul are wrong here (more Dojin than Byul, Byul is just a naive kid who doesn't know anything), I'd like to pin the blame on Heesung here too. It was so stupid of him to bring up the past when he KNOWS Byul is literally living under that roof too and that Dojin and Hyesung don't want him to know about that stuff. And the fact that IT WASN'T THE ONLY time he's brought it up is so wacky and careless. Like, Hyesung (or Dojin, who knows) literally asks him, "How many more times are you gonna bring up this same story?" It's like he was practically begging for Byul to find out about it...
It's clear Byul heard snipets of the whole story, internalised them and Hyesung never really had the talk with him, because who wants to explain their traumatic experiences to their young child on how his grandma blamed his mother for the lack of contact and dad was a douchebag who baby trapped the mom.
Dojin monion was always weird and an arse.
Yes, exactly!! And I do still love Heesung, but I also think he lacks awareness. I know he went through somewhat of a character development when he was hiding Hyesung and saw him struggling, but I cannot forget that he constantly accused Hyesung, the literal victim, of things that weren't even his fault, and contributed to his suffering with his verbal abuse.
Other than Dojin and Hyesung themselves, he was the only outsider who knew the whole story from the start. That's why him just loosely talking about that sensitive history, on MULTIPLE occasions, is so problematic in the first place. Because it's most likely from all these conversations that Byul heard snippets of the story in the first place.
Obviously, Hyesung and Dojin should've known to shut him down before he could say anything more, but the fact he keeps bringing it up is what irks me. And even when he talks about it, you can tell the author still paints Hyesung as the 'troublesome' one during that time instead of a victim, writing things like "How did you put up with him for two months?" as if Hyesung was ever the burden.
Honestly, maybe it's more just a bad decision from Fargo's end. Why'd you make them do that
I give Byul grace because I'd noticed from the earlier chapters where we find out he's been seeing his grandma, that he only feels pity/sympathy for her and is helping her out because she resembles his mom so much. But Byul, honey, just because she looks so much like your mom, does not mean she is deserving of help. I know he said what he said out of frustration and knows he's wrong, but I only hope that only he's the one to apologise and Hyesung doesn't have to apologise for anything. He didn't do anything wrong whatsoever.
It'd probably help for Hyesung to (though he may not want to) really discuss what happened between him and his egg-donor to Byul so he gets a clearer picture of how badly his mom was wronged by his grandma. Byul is only acting like this because he is an immature teenager who hasn't gotten the whole story yet. His parents wanted to keep this stuff hidden from him forever (though they did it very poorly, discussing all that in the open ) and he only got bits and pieces of what happened, leaving him to fill in the gaps himself (and prolly whatever bs the grandma told him...).
As for Dojin, I hope some random kid kicks him in his balls and they become unable to function for the rest of his pathetic life







i know their past lives were already doomed but i can't help but wish they had a happy ending :(
