I don't think he's threatening to kill himself, I think he's pointing at his new necklace that his handsome boyfriend got him. I think that old choker was important in some way, and I think we'll find out.
I first kept on really hating on Cole and his stupid personality and his insecurities,and that Alex was just this poor guy that was stuck with him. Like, Cole was seriously starting to make me hate him, that is, until I realized how similar we are...
Cole has a problem. I don't think he really is in love with Alex, but is obsessed with the idea of loving him. And I think this because once he gets to date him and have Alex's poor feelings all to himself, he gets selfish and mean. Like, dood pulled a gun on the guy, serious indicator that there is a screw loose and you should leave.
Cole starts to deteriorate as a character and kinda becomes the bad guy in his own story. Though I can't complain too much cause I too share so many similarities to him.
I think it's an obvious sign that Cole has probably dealt with bullying and other things like that. He probably deals with internalized homophobia based on how much he can barely trust his boyfriend as far as he can throw that stupid dildo he has (which I bet isn't very far based on his small, skinny physique.) Cole also has a past in self harm, which I mean, F U C K. Cole has been through hell already and we can tell based on his stupid decisions and erratic behavior.
SO in the end, I think Cole needs some counseling and therapy. Alex may also need some, but really he needs to find someone better or actually help the current relationship be a healthy one (which I don't think will happen because Alex just sits and looks pretty, and Cole keeps messing with the fuckin boundaries).
But overall, I think the story is pretty interesting if you like drama bull shit, which I do. Thanks to anyone who read this, idk why you would, it was stupid.
Poor Ryeo. All he wants is to be treated like an equal instead of a freaking child. Everyone just keeps looking at him like he can't fend for himself. Ryeo is smart, and I think he can do things for himself, though asking for help in dire situations like this would be good for him. Then again, he's been coddled so much that he's just trying break out of they're tight hold and work for himself, it's just not at the safest time.
