i know we’re still at the beginning of season 2 but what i really want to see in the future is him overcoming his internalized homophobia Anddd being lovely dovey with yeonwu (but we won’t see that until way way later on lol) we can see that he’s affectionate and loving to taehee but we haven’t actually seen him being loving with anyone else yet so it’ll be interesting to see that

**spoilers for the newest raw***
yesssss we get a backstory of taehwan’s childhood in his point of view!!! i was waiting for this! can i just say fuck them kids that did him dirty back then, i’m pissed ugh. we also got a small introduction of Mike (the blonde older guy that taehwan shook hands with in the raws) we’ll see what’s going on between them in the next raw chapter, most likely.
when i saw him come in the chapter
me: fuck you bruh

*spoiler*
one of the kids was jealous of taehwan so him and his friends went to his dorm at night. taehwan was sleeping in bed but he woke up from the kids trying to hold him down. The jealous kid sneaked out a dead frog from the lab and said to taehwan that asian people eat frogs right? and was forcing him to eat it. THANKFULLY the kids got caught and he didn’t eat it
but yeah like i said, FUCK THEM KIDS

don’t quote me on this lol but i think the ginger guy we saw is his roommate at their dorm. the other kids were making fun of him too, calling him gay. taehwan was saying to him to just ignore them (he didn’t seem homophobic when he was a kid though...?)
during the frog incident, taehwan was wondering how the kids got into the dorm when it was locked and he knew that the ginger was the one that let them in. so yeah, that explains why when yeonwu asked him why he doesn’t just join the dorm and you can see taehwan being hesitant about it

I don’t think he was being a homophobic to begin with, if you’re really straight down to the core being kissed by a guy while your guard down is even considered as a sexual harassment or assault, especially he have a trauma on that kind of thing, let’s just admit that the uke did a mistake on his approach to the seme. Taewan does not deserve the hate regardless if he’s badmouthing yeon. If we try to put our shoes on him anyone would also react negatively like that, its just being realistic ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

yeah i uploaded the chpt a day late haha. my bad. but can u read korean then? im so jealous ;_; even if u cant its better than mine. and omg "asians eat frogs" is what they said to him???? i was shocked with just the frog part. the RACISM THO. as for homophobia...i dont think taehwan IS homophobic. i think tahee wrongly assumed that because he didnt have the context for what went down but he did say taehwan was bullied and called gay which gave him a complex but we at no point see him say or do anything homophobic to anyone. his anger towards dojin and yeonwoo both have explanations that arent rooted in hating The Gays. as for mike, its pretty clear to me that he saw an isolated little boy who had no friends and whose family was not in reach and decided to take advantage. i wont go further than that because its not a think to say lightly and i wont know for sure if im right until next week but yeah just...this whole chpt sent chills down my spine even before that fckn P*do showed up. poor taehwan and im amaaaazed he's not 100x more fucked up than he is. (also i want to highlight that his reaction to yeonwoo kissing him involved trembling and shock/hurt in his face before running away it wasnt anger or disgust so his kneejerk reaction wasnt EWWW COOTIES but "et tu yeonwoo???" like the betrayal agaaiiin. heartbreaking tbh, im sure yeonwoo had no idea and would feel awful when he finds out but yeonwoo is sharp as a tack so im hoping he'll help taehwan come to terms with his trauma).

lol yeah cause plenty of people be racist in the US anyway. most likely he was in an area far away from the usual pockets in the country where asian people tend to gather. and koreans afaik mainly congregate in NYC and LA area. tho taehwan's family is Rich so who knows where their main residence is lol but taehee said "taehwan changed when he went ot the US" so my assumption was during this time as a child his family was in south korea not the us while he was in the US (who tf knows where lol). but the bullying stuff was so scary cause it did FEEL real in a way cause bullying esp race fueld bullying can truly be that sick and dark irl.
i’m laughing at the ‘Photos about this manga’ on here and it’s literally all just memes LOL
