People keep saying, “His past doesn’t excuse his actions.” Sure it doesn’t. But can you at least try to understand?
Jaekyung grew up in hell. A drunk, violent father. A mother who left and never came back. He was less than ten years old, calling her, begging her to come home and promising he’d make money so she didn’t have to be scared anymore. And then he was left to survive in filth and hunger, bullied, alone.
That kind of pain doesn’t vanish when you grow up.
He doesn’t drink because he saw what drinking turned his father into. He hates when Dan drinks because it triggers something deep, ugly and and something he had no control over as a kid. You think he’s just controlling. But he’s traumatized.
No one’s saying he’s perfect. He’s done wrong, absolutely. But Dan is an adult who can make choices. Jaekyung, back then, couldn’t even choose when to eat.
We're not excusing anything. We're just seeing the full picture.
If you can’t give him forgiveness, at least give him understanding
