"Jooin, you are only good to me in moments like this"? Saying this to a guy who is in his vulnerable state? This story is the true definition of what not to do IRL and the type of partner to avoid IRL I'm reminded of the saying: "Love does not hurt or does not envy". But the number of times Yahwi went out of his way to hurt Jooin because he wanted to process him or Jooin went out of his way to let Yahwi abuse or assault him is still flabbergasting to me. How can you allow someone to hurt you this much when you know that you have the choice to leave them and NEVER look back?
Unfortunately, the author is creating a narrative where the abuser has the power, through manipulation, to regain anything or anyone that has escaped their fingers.
Cain does not deserve Jooin at this point: he deserves someone who TRULY knows how to value and love themselves first before valuing or loving him in return. And everyone deserves a Cain in their lives.
