So the ex is gonna come and cause drama, yesss!!! I think Theo wants to move on from him, but it’s evident he’s still somewhat hung up on the ex (understandable since they’ve known each other for a long time, and had a long relationship. Plus it seems the ex was/is pretty manipulative)
Dylan is already jealous and the ex isn’t even here yet lmao. Boy you’ve got a storm coming when he shows up at your doorstep or something to bother Theo

If you hate the MC because he acted homophobic and distanced red hair when he caught him watching gay porn, you need to re-examine the situation.
it’s clear the MC isn’t straight, and even during the plot (as a college student) is exploring his sexuality. Seeing Joohyuk watch porn might have been the first time the MC thought about being attracted to men even being an option. It might have been one of his first major exposures to homosexuality.
Was that a rude reaction? Yes. Should he have talked to Joohyuk instead of ignoring him? Yes.
But if we look at that situation, understanding eun-oh as a young queer person growing up in a homophobic society (that hasn’t realized he’s queer yet) it makes more sense. Eun-oh might have re-examined their entire relationship, focusing on all the times they were physically intimate (chapter 6 , i think, has an example). Instead of confronting he himself was also gay or queer, eun-oh ran away and avoided thinking about it. Eun-oh should have communicated to Joohyuk, but his reaction is understandable.
eun-ohs initial reaction does not justify Joohyuk pressuring him into sex. If Joohyuk was mad or upset, he should have talked to eun-oh. NOT sexually assault him. Reread chapter 7/8(I think) that whole scene was gross to read. You can feel how uncomfortable eun-oh is. Joohyuk doing that completely altered their relationship dynamic. They could no longer be best friends like before. And they weren’t, since Joohyuk continued to coerce eun-oh into sex acts and mistreat him. For example, makes him do all the administrative tasks for that art club. Even other characters can see he uses eun-oh. For example, calling eun-oh Joohyuk “dog”.
If Joohyuk was mad or upset, he should have talked to eun-oh. NOT sexually assault him. If he wanted a romantic relationship with eun-oh, or wants to stay close friends with him, manipulating him is NOT how he should do that.
Of course eun-oh doesn’t feel comfortable around him. Of course he thinks Joohyuk doesn’t care about him. Of course he thinks Joohyuk only sees him as a sexual outlet. That’s how Joohyuk has been treating him. That’s what their relationship is now.
I think eun-oh’s relationship with dochan is essential for him to understand his sexuality in a CONSENSUAL relationship. If joohyuk wants to be the endgame ship, he has to majorly step up and apologize.
(Some of the chapters I referenced might be slightly off. I didn’t go back again to verify I had the right numbers since I doubt any one will even read this all. And if they did, I doubt they’d bother to reread the manhwa lmao)

Agreed AND to point out that Joohyuk is just a straight up dick chapter 8 is all you need to read like who in their right mind would want to rebuild a relationship with a dude who fuc*s some guy you just met as a weird way to get back at you???
logic ≠ logic
I think the MCs reaction makes perfect sense given their situation
-no knowledge of sexual orientation besides straight ones
-family took him in, becomes friends with son
-finds out said friend is gay
-said friend becomes hostile...
Villainous side characters like that blond bitch are so annoying ugh. It’s like their only purpose and character trait is to be as annoying as possible
