I am once again asking Seowon to elaborate on what exactly Aiden has had to sacrifice?? Aiden is rich, they live in his vacation villa that has full staffing! They literally have people helping them take care of the baby. Aiden didn’t have to give up football or drop out of school. He still has all his friends. What has he sacrificed?!? If anything, Seowon is the one who’s had to give up everything for this relationship. He got pregnant, had to drop out of college, moved to the other side of the world, had to adapt to a brand new culture, barely gets to see his only friend and dad, and almost died in childbirth. I get that he has low self esteem and views himself as a burden but come on man. Aiden has everything he wanted and had to give up nothing in return. What about him is giving “boo hoo poor me my life is so hard”?!
it is potentially cultural and just general anxiety... he knows his dad had to give up a lot to raise him, and he also probably feels guilty for that and doesn't want Aiden to resent him as they get older
Its probably because Seowon views Aiden as having a "bright" future, while not thinking his own was that great. We know that due to his condition, he genuinely thought he would have to live in the forest for the rest of his life. I think he talked about how he would have to depend on his father forever.
On the other hand, Aiden is a football player, who is young, popular and hot. I don't recall if he is a good student, but his father has a company, so he would presumably inherit it.
In Seowon's eyes, Aiden being with him would probably be more of a sacrifice than his own. Since Aiden would be giving up his "higher quality" freedom (as in parties, socializing, other partners, let's remember Seowon might be romanticizing this).
Who could’ve guessed the solution to all this was breastfeeding his husband
