I have emotions I also cast to the side about missing my parent and certain others because to me they're just too painful to face tbh. And I have really no friends to talk about it with otherwise I feel like I'm complaining or speaking too much or just burdening them with my shit, so I get it. But story wise I just have this feeling that granny will like say everything she can and pass away due to the fact she's soo much older and they'll adopt him. Tho I really hope not cause I seriously can't and won't be able to deal if they have a funeral in this story atp because it's so wholesome
personally? it means a lot to me when someone opens up about their past, i feel our bond deepening and it warms my heart knowing that the person feels safe and at ease with me. especially if that person feels any kind of sense of relief or comfort after telling me that, i'm more than happy to give a listening ear. so i think talking about it to someone you're close with isn't as bad of an idea than most people think.
just felt like posting this here to give another perspective; it's never too late to open up to people you're close to ♡
I honestly do think tho that he's not just trying to do this solely for understanding tho because that last line about first impressions seems like he'll genuinely give a fuck and try to treat him with decent respect cause in reality, why care about that or even think it If you're a piece of shit yk?
The funny thing is I knew that was the case from the start. It just all seemed way to weird and no Author or storyteller in their right mind that is would promote...yk. I just thought that they were aware and was bullying him for it. But now all this makes perfect sense and Iljo is just pissing me off for pushing him away after all that. Like what was the point of committing a love robbery if you were gonna leave him high and dry anyways???










Yall have some valid points, but one's a fuckboy which he admits aka a narcissist and the other is a pantomath damn near ex knowitall, so genuinely not understanding what expectations you had or why they were so inflated. Not to mention, The 1950s-60s seeming timeperiod, this stuff was extremely popular in culture (especially Western and that's statistically not just something I'm pulling out my ass), so it seems very onbrand. Being Yaoi is just an added factor, but that was also commonish then or are we forgetting the Roaring 20s into the Great Depression?
Honestly I just feel like this is way more realistic than some are giving it credit for in the way it represents the characters and mindsets.
