As Hyesung mentioned "Byul is a good kid". Yes, Byul is a good kid that sees an elder woman struggling and being abandoned. It is easy and human to emphatize with old abandoned people. He does not realize everything that the woman has done to his father, because that happened long time ago and also because he is a teenager. In that case, his parents should have explained why they cut ties with her and the pain that she caused the father/mother (I don't know anymore).
People asking for Hyesung to abandon Byul, sorry but I don't approve. In that case, Dojin should be responsible.
Should she be forgiven? No. But there should be a better communication in the family.
I had a similar experience as Byul but at least they informed me about all their problems beforehand. Of course this is fiction and miscommunication is the best way to cause drama and make Byul be with Siwoo.
upvoting this bc finally a decent comment & who defo understand byul! ppl calling this betrayal doesn't sit right with me bc what does byul know??? he won't understand why his father hate his grandma til they explain it to him, bc for him, his grandma is nice & treats him well... hope ppl would cut him some slack, he's still a kid
I just finished reading the side story and ..
They are fluffy. They fuck a lot, probably half of the side story they are like rabbits. The uke continues being a tsundere.
Basically, their routine is: wake up, Seoon works at the Ministry of War, Jihan stays at home, waits for Seoon to come back. The ML helps him to study for his exams and they fuck and go to sleep.
Jihan feels lonely and anxious. Not sure why. I think he is worried that seme regrets the end of his engagement.
There is a new character , let's call him "Y" that goes uninvited to the house and starts trouble with Jihan (the MC) and notices that there is something special between the brothers. He is the one that introduced Seoon to the former fiancee. Seoon was the one that asked him to be introduced. (in the main novel, Seoon (ML) wanted to take everything from Jihan, specially his fiancee)
"Y" wonders why Seoon stopped pursuing the fiancee so sudden and now he is just clingy to his older brother. Also "Y" comments about the past of Jihan, saying he was known to be a party person and now he is confined inside the house. Actually, the MC wasn't a party man, he just went with his friends and kept drinking without interacting.
Seoon gets angry at "Y" and puts him in his place. They continue to be acquitances.
I don't know who has the idea, Seoon or Jihan, but they decide to go to a pretty place for a break, with "Y" as a guest. Of course, they fuck everywhere, in the bath, in the lake, etc. Jihan is kinder and less of a tsundere and shows more affection to Seoon.
At the end, Jihan tells ML that "He hopes to see him soon" aww he is more straightforward with his feelings.
I translated with google so maybe there are mistakes.
And the father? I guess he doesn't know his sons are gays.
Unfortunately the side story is not in booktoki. I had to buy it directly in R!d!books

Unpopular but I disagree with "Byul is the worst and should be abandoned", for me he is a normal kid, who makes mistakes and regrets. I'm pretty sure if Byul has to decide between his father or the grandma, he would pick the dad Hyesung with no doubt.. I wrote it before so I'll paste it here again:
-Byul is in a vulnerable situation where he believes his dreams have failed. Not really, but as a young person, one believes that. His parents have other important obligations, and the only person who can provide support is his grandmother (unfortunately), she may be manipulating him but I'm not sure.
-Byul is a good boy who sees a lonely and abandoned elderly woman with excessive regret. It's normal and human to feel empathy and pity for the elderly, especially if they're sweet and women. Being old and dependable probably suck. I don't think she should be forgiven.
-Hyesung is now happy, supported and loved by everyone. His situation was a long time ago, so Byul doesn't realize that the mistake was serious. He was always loved, so he doesn't know how to measure his mistake.
-Byul was always loved by his mother, so he takes his love for granted. Like most of us, we put our priorities when we are young on other people, our crushes, etc instead of parents.
-In the end, Hyesung should have also informed Byul about the pain his mother's trauma still causes him. Byul knows that his grandma abandoned Hyesung but he doesn't know the abuse his father imposed on him (he just listen his grandma side). It's the adults' responsibility to communicate this too. They prefered to ignore the issue instead of confronting it with Byul . Seeing that Dojin is still talking with the grandma and taking the issue so lighly makes Byul not seeing the whole picture.
-17-year-olds, even adults don't follow their parents' advice and don't think about how bad a situation is. If that were the case, the world would be different. But I don't know any teenager, and I don't believe there are any who have followed their parents' warnings 100% of the time. We all misbehave sometimes, and almost all of us have taken our parents' love for granted, sadly. But with time we learn.
-Byul is misrepresenting something and it is Over-rationalizating the situation "Because I don't blame my father (Hyensung) for abandon me, probably my father doesn't hate his mother (grandma)". Which both situations are different. It is still bad that Byul told hurtful things to Hyesung but we know he regrets it deeply.
-"I'm a teen and I have never or I would never" hmmm Every teen is different. Your mind and reactions are different than every person in the world.
- I don't think Hyesung should forgive the grandma, but that is going to happen, If you are not prepared, better prepare NOW.
-If you really hate Byul with all your heart, wtv, it is normal to get angry at teens, damn, sometimes they are obnoxious and crazy, but I just breath 1 to 100 and hope for the best future for them before I end up with murder charges.
-Finally, BYUL is just being highly emphatethic with a person who doesn't deserve it. He and the cousin girl are acting like normal teenagers, dumb and obnoxious but with room of improvement.
I rest my case.
dang how is this an unpopular opinion? when this is supposrd to be common sense to people
normalize blaming everything on dojin
Lol
Lol attachment I guess
