It’s not as simple as it looks—the situation is far more complicated. Both siblings lost their parents at such a young age, and that left deep scars. The brother, especially, grew emotionally dependent on his sister. When you lose that kind of parental love too early, you start clinging to the closest person you have—and for him, that was his sister.
On top of that, the younger sibling carried an enormous need for affection, a desperate expectation of love from everyone around him. But his pain didn’t stop there—he was also SA’d by his cousin. For a child, that kind of trauma doesn’t just fade away with time. Some wounds never heal; they shape the way you grow, the way you trust, the way you see yourself and the world. Unless someone has lived through it, they’ll never truly understand how deeply it breaks a person inside.
I’ve worked in an NGO for years, dealing with children who went through similar things, and believe me, sometimes the pain is far worse than what we can even imagine.
Coming back to this story—his sister had no idea what he was going through. I don’t blame her for it, because she herself was still young, trying to survive her own battles. But for him, all of that silence, all of that loneliness, kept piling up. It was like a storm building inside him. So when he asked her to attend that parent meeting, it wasn’t just a small request. It was a trigger. In his head, it echoed as: “Why didn’t you notice me? Why didn’t you care? Why did I have to suffer alone? If I had parents, would I have gone through all of this?”
And then he snapped. Not because he hated her, but because he loved her so much that her absence, her unawareness, cut him the deepest. To make it worse, in a society like Korea where bullying is rampant, he was probably already being ridiculed for not having parents—which is why he wanted her to show up at that meeting, just to feel like he wasn’t completely alone.
Now, I’m not excusing the words he said, but I’m sure he didn’t truly mean them. He was drowning in pain, suffocating under everything he had been carrying for years, and that one moment was when it all burst out. Sometimes, the people we lash out at the most are the very ones we love the most—because deep down, they’re the ones we desperately wanted to notice our silent cries.
I really hope that author is doing okay mentally I meant.... Reading one of it's not ch.feels like going through the trauma and disgusting experience that i didn't have before..and im blessed that in my short span of life.... I didn't face anything like this but thought of this happening to someone else is really scary that it makes my stomach hurt. But considering how author has to think and put those thoughts into the story and art , I'm genuinely concerned whether that person is okay or not..I know there's a line between fiction and reality... But Just can't stop having thoughts like this
I think the author is fine! I really like dark plots because for me it keeps me mentally stimulated to keep thinking of crazy situations to put the characters through. All of her works do have some crazy shit in them but, it’s just her style. Your thoughts are valid though, but if ur that scared, you should put this webtoon down
I don't read this one... just came to see if there was any progression in story( at first i found the setting quite intriguing)... But now it feels like it's stuck in a loop.... Of misrey. ( I don't have problem with Struggle or sufferings but character development or depth are missing according to me and that's why I'm not getting anything i suppose.
This is why i can't get into shoujo... Like what kind of logic is this... She is not obligated to end her relationship just because the school authorities want to....she doesn't need to quit school either. It's not like she has done some indecency or failed in a subject due to relationship...and why teachers are getting railed up about someone's personal life ?? Are they now more important than the parents or what? This type of stupid shit makes the story hella monotonous... its not even a plot twist but sheer annoyance
I am really enjoying this emo.although some technical things are bit exaggerated which is fine. at least i don't have to witness R@pe,SA in this one... On top of that ,JLO is really great as a character..he is not all upright and he knows it. Yet he doesn't lose his cool and has better understanding of human relationship with money ........us, engineers really don't care about morality if it means our job is done...by that logic we are people of gray zone ..and thanks to author to show that ..










When you thought that the story is finally going somewhere, it exactly went to the direction, it wasn't supposed to go at all
