Oh my god are u being srs about the second part literallly WHAT

Give a try to the novel ;-;

WAITT WHY DO THEY ACT LIKE THAT THEN?? I'M SO CURIOUS

Yohan is a psycho who is a control freak with an inferiority complex and is obsessed with pretty brown haired MC

he's so weird omg but like why was his family acting weird too then or am i like imagining it
i havent read this in a while but i swore they were avoiding him like the plague

I don't remember too much + Yohan is an unreliable narrator, but his family just doesn't know how to handle him, not because of his sexuality.
It goes before the "incident" when he "came out". We don't even know if he is gay or bi.
But he is indeed a psycho who loves attention

but isn't his father like a turbo homophobe or something??

not really he’s religious but that’s about it, his sister rosa even said the father and family was actually trying to set up MC with Yohan so they can “pass” him off to the mc

got it!! tysm!

This is actually like super insane omg he played with all of us

pass him off as in get rid of him?

basically lol

but that would indicate their relationship was not fine, would it not?

No, they pamper Yohan more than they care about their daughter. In his sister's word - "What was it again? That he didn’t like crab? Oh, that’s right. Hey, you idiot. That bastard’s crazy about shellfish. He can finish off a whole crab or lobster in one sitting. Get a grip, you moron! You got played! That bastard’s a real psycho!"
...............................
"Who, Go Yohan? Ha. That bastard’s been a dipshit since birth. Greedy, always wanting things out of his league. If he can’t get them, he just gives up—pretending he never wanted them in the first place. And all the while, lurking. Watching. Creeping."
...
"He told me… his parents wouldn’t pay for his tutoring."

"Tutoring? Why the hell would he do that? He hates hard work. He only worships geniuses."

"But… he studied with all those weird books…"

A scornful laugh cracked the air. Confused, I looked at her—and met Gorosa’s eyes, brimming with ridicule.

"You’re so clueless. That was all for show. A damn act. His way of feeding his ego—playing like he’s above it all. Don’t you get it? He did it to hide his limits. To fake being effortless."

"Even his dad… always talked down to him."

"Well, yeah. With grades and a personality like his, who wouldn’t?"

"But… that’s not… If he hated him, then why would your parents help him?"

"Depends on the person, doesn’t it? If they hated him so much, why would my mom and dad help him?"

"…What?"

"Ah… Shit. I wasn’t supposed to say that."
...............................
"Do you know why my dad’s so nice to you?"

"…No."

Honestly, I never understood it. Was it my grades? My family? If that were the case, shouldn’t he favor his own firstborn son? Looking back—why me? Why was it me?

"Because you’re the perfect person to dump Go Yohan onto."

"…What?"
...............................
"The living room cabinet!"

"What?"

"The glass cabinet in your living room—the one with your family photos."

"…Yeah, what about it?"

"There are a couple of photos with Go Yohan in them, right?"

"Why are you asking that all of a sudden? What about it?"

"Quickly!"

Gorosa’s face twisted into a look that screamed, ‘What the hell is wrong with this lunatic?’ It wasn’t her problem. I didn’t care. I was desperate.

"Two of them, right?"

Of course. Ha—I let out a laugh.

"Figures. Bet they threw them up in a hurry."

"What…? What are you even talking about?"

"The photos. When I checked earlier, there was only one."

"Are you sure you weren’t just seeing what you wanted to see? Did you even look at the family photos properly?"

"What…?"

"You’re acting like you know something. But what do you actually know?"

"No way… no… it can’t be."

I scanned the photos. Right shelf, left shelf, lower section, upper section—my gaze swept across them all. And then—I froze.

It was a photo I hadn’t seen before.

Even that evening—it hadn’t been there.

A picture of a family of four, standing together, smiling for the camera.

"……."

And then it hit me."

okay, this clears things out for me, thank you so much

"Do you know what his biggest complex is?"

The fact that I was even curious—about Go Yohan’s complex—was laughable. Still, I couldn’t help but take her seriously. So, after some thought, I offered what seemed most likely:

"…That he likes guys?"

"No. That his IQ’s lower than mine."

"……."

"I’m 137. Go Yohan? 119, I think. I used to roast him about it when we were kids. ‘Your brain’s in critical condition—hell, even the world knows it.’ And, oh, that smug bastard’s face would turn bright red. Pfft. He had ADHD too. Took a lot of work to fix that."

"……."

"He’d rather die than admit it. I bet no one knows. Oh, and get this—he’s smart, sure, but his empathy’s trash. He can’t think from anyone else’s perspective. Makes you wonder if he’s a textbook sociopath. They say sociopaths thrive in society because of that, you know?"
.................................
"I admit Go Yohan is strange. But all of this is because of what happened at home. I was just trying to protect someone who was being bullied. Was that so stupid?"

"Bullied?"

"Bullied? By who?"

"Go Yohan. Who else in this house is being excluded except him?"

"Go Yohan? Excluded? In our house? What the hell?!"

"Crazy, you’re going to listen to all this nonsense?!"

"Nonsense? I’ve seen and heard everything."

"Hey! What do you know?"

"You don’t know anything! The one who’s the most spoiled in our house is Go Yohan!"

"What?"

"Don’t tell me that guy doesn’t deserve insults. If it were me, I would’ve kicked him out of the family. He should be grateful that he's even still living here. That damn sociopath, he should be in a mental hospital, not at school! Yeah, I hate him. I wish he’d just leave the house!"

"Sociopath? What has he done? Just that he likes men? Is that all?"

"You want to defend him after all that?"

"All because of that one reason? You think that’s enough to treat him like this? Calling him a psycho or a sociopath. Who exposed the secret in the first place? It was your family. And you’re just using that to cover it up, aren't you?"

"What? Who said that? Go Yohan said it? Did he say that himself? Is that what you're saying?"

Gorosa’s eyes widened, and her mouth hung open.

"Who exposed it? He said it first! That crazy bastard, that crazy bastard said it during Christmas in middle school! In front of his whole family! While everyone was praying for their family’s safety and peace, he said the one thing he wanted for Christmas was a 'boyfriend!' That bastard said that!"

"...What are you saying?"

"Bullied? That bastard rides around on his expensive motorcycle, crashes it all the time, and his parents stop him from facing the consequences? He’s the one who walked up to his parents and exposed the secret that everyone was hiding! The backlash? My family took all of it! That guy is seriously insane. He’s not just some regular freak, do you hear me? That second-child complex, wanting to take all the love from his parents, while causing all that trouble, and you’re going to treat him like this?"

"What the hell are you saying?"

Welcome. I'm glad to have helped if you still want to understand it more clearly you can look at ch 17.2 of novel. That's when Yohan's lies are revealed. Here's the chapters link - https://novelfire.net/book/eighteens-bed/chapter-69

Have you read the extras? It is later revealed that yohan was actually physically abused by their father once by being hit hard by a trophy and the father is just a manipulating scumbag with a twisted personality. Rosa just thought their father favoured yohan more which is not the truth.

No, I didn't read that and I also didn’t know this happened. Thank you for informing me about it! It seems I was wrong about some things because I didn't fully read it...

wow, it’s insane how so much important details are just being put in the extras instead of the actual novel

Have you read the novel? The pacing of the reveals does make sense.
And the details are hinted a bit in the main story. Due to the way the novel's ending, those details are revealed later. And the main story is kang jun's pov, the last ch of the extras is yohan's pov.

The pacing of the reveals does make a lot of sense.
And the details are hinted a bit in the main story. Due to the way the novel ended, those details are revealed later and they are revealed in a more natural way. And the main story is kang jun's pov, there is also a yohan's pov chapter in the extras too.
