i don’t see what the ex did wrong yet? like, i get that he broke up with him but that’s only because he didn’t think a long distance relationship would work out. i understand that it’s hard to continue a long distance relationship and no matter how much you live someone, it can be very hard. so i don’t see what he did wrong yet.

i think it was mainly HOW he broke up with him rather than why. it was all really sudden. hajin was so down to at least try long distance and visit him from time to time but the ex rlly seemed like he wasn’t even up for trying it (at least from what the flashback showed). relationships take dedication and the ex just showed he really wasn’t devoted to making it work out between them. before he said he wanted to break up, he even held hajin’s hand like,,, who does that before breaking up with someone because that’s basically just leading them on. it might’ve just been a way to comfort him before he told him, but it just made me rlly sad when it cut to hajin crying and i had to share my thoughts :(

Maybe how he broke up, and the reason he gave. Because it seems that he was dating the girl this whole time, a long-distance relationship to boot.
And why would he try to get in touch with his ex, and remember how they used to f*ck each other straight after having sex with the girl. That is to me, what makes him fishy and wrong.
Maybe, that is just me.

you’re right! i found the fact that he had sex with the girl and immediately thought of his ex very off putting and it’s clear he isn’t interested in her at all. he’s not a nice character in the least!! but i don’t understand what wrong with him breaking up because he wanted to go abroad and have a fresh start. it seems fair to me

How is breaking up with someone with no warning, no consideration for how the other person may feel about it and performing actions right before that can be so easily misconstrued to any opposing degree whatsoever, fair by any stretch of the imagination? The reason for the breakup is irrelevant. Which is why I am seriously confused about how you came to *your* conclusion.....
Here's a step by step of a similar scenario. Please do explain how this is fair at the end if at all possible:
1. Someone has a small candy.
2. Their friend has a larger candy.
3. The first person steals the larger candy from their friend.
4. After much begging the first person gives the smaller candy to the friend claiming it tastes better.
5. The friend while doubtful takes a bite of the candy and finds it quite a bit more bitter and sour than the one he bought.
6. The friend trying to be nice tries to take another bite.
7. The first person swats it out of their friend's hands before they come even close to doing so onto the dirty ground they're standing on.
8. The first person runs away.
Of course the first person is Jaehee and the friend is Hajin.

Isnt't the 'girlfriend' who cheated on him and then left him Jaehee. Maybe I was the only one who thought so, but they only ever mentioned one relationship Hajin had, and that was with Jaehee. That Time when they talked in the bathtub, it also seemed like they were talking about Jaehee, even though Hajin talked about his 'ex-girlfriend'. And if it's like that, then he was a real jerk.
But maybe I missunderstood it all.

Tapas has been those mistakes.. Tapas has missed up in this story a lot... that is two of them.
.......... I wrote about it here. http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/5055576/
what I say was.....
Chapter 16.
After being confused for a few hours… I have want back to chapter 16 and looked at what the sister’s says where she thinks Jaehee.. Tapas messed up. It only talked about breaking up nothing about cheating. And I think she says ex-lover instead of ex-girlfriend. Tapas has messed up many times, it is hard to tell what they would change in these chapters. TT
The girlfriend mention that cheated on him... was actually an ex lover that broke up with him and she thinks Jaehee.
in the bathtub I think sure ex lover is used. I have not be able to re look at things yet.

sorry for offending! i just don’t see the issue with the situation and think the analogy provided isn’t accurate. i definitely think it’s ok for someone to break off a relationship if they’re moving abroad. the news to the ex of going abroad may or may not have been sudden- we don’t know yet, but i think it was mature of the ex to break up with him.
it wasn’t like giving him a “bigger candy” or “better candy”. it was him as a person and he was deciding where he would be in his life.
using a candy as an analogy really doesn’t capture human relationships.
as in the end you pointed out that he ran away... he really didn’t. he broke it off and left him. which is ALLOWED. no one lives their life for anyone else. if he went away without saying anything, that’s a separate matter.
this isn’t a comment on whether he’s good or bad or whether he’s a shady character or not— i just don’t see what he’s done wrong yet.

Ok I re-read their break up scene, and I think it’s not that fact that he broke up with Hajin that rubbed people the wrong way, but how he did it.
He was not upfront about it until Hajin made him tell him straight up. He was bring lovey-dovey with the guy, knowing he was going to unceremoniously dump him. I can understand not wanting a long-distance relationship, but knowing his plan, why was he still leading him on?
They were walking along in freezing weather and he goes to take Hajin’s hand.Hajin teases that he only wanted to hold his hand, then when he mentions he wants to study abroad, Hajin happily tells him he’s always wanted to go abroad and That he could get his visa , that’s when Jaehee tells him “I’m indirectly telling you we should break up”.
Who wouldn’t feel a bad taste in their mouth over that type of break up? He just went about it wrong. Up till that point, he was still leading Hajin on. The holding hands, the tying the scarf around his neck, then dumping him. I think that’s why people don’t like Jaehee. There are ways of doing things, and Jaehee chose to be very callous about it.
YOU SHOULD KISS HIM.
