Japan really knows how to romanticize some sick ish lol
Be prepared, this story is basically, "It's ok that you manipulated and r**ed me in my child form, because I had feelings for you anyway" type of yaoi. Not gonna knock people who still want to read. Just think you should know what you're getting into.

The Jowoon vs Taku battles are fun but is no else concerned with the fact that Haesoo is (still) being stalked by his crazy ex and he's probably gonna get hurt :/ ...Or worst he will somehow manage to get proof about Haesoo and Jowoon's past relationship and spreads it to the media.... Just thinking about that gives me anxiety >.<

I think Haesoo feels cornered and hasn't had time to properly process his feelings about the loss of his relationship with Joowon. He's confused and trying to "go with the flow" but it's clear he's still hesitant and unsure. Taku isn't wrong for pursuing a relationship, but it feels like he's pressuring Haesoo because he doesn't want to leave any chance for him go back to Joowon. It feels very forced and doesn't seem like it will end well. Haesoo should be alone for awhile until he's mentally and emotionally ready for a serious relationship.
What Jowoon is doing is likely trying to PROTECT Haesoo from the media. If it gets dragged out that he did it for revenge for another person, the media's going to dig into who that person was and Haesoo will be the prime choice, making his life even more chaotic. So Jowoon saying it was of his own accord will place all of the attention and blame on himself. He's literally ruining his career to protect Haesoo.
You’re a genius I didn’t even realize that
yup korean paps and fans can be rly scary. if joowon had said "i did it to protect a friend" immediate digging into every single person joowon was ever close with would happen and ofc top of the list would be his step brother Haesoo. what Joowon did was not only smart but considerate. he has more to lose than haesoo if a scandal happens but haesoo would def be hurt by all the public scrutiny more because he's a sensitive guy. so yeah Joowon's rdy to fuck up his career for haesoo's emotional wellbeing (without expecting anything in return or being in any kind of romantic relationship right now) but i always kinda knew he would and had a feeling the story was building up to that. and it'll probably what pushes haesoo to be more honest with himself about his own feelings. or i hope so anyway. (i saw the raws and haesoo and joowon finally interact again in ch84. cant wait!)
