Seunghoe

He dohus no wrong in my eyes

Nah, I understand where Juheon was coming from, but like - rereading chap 59 and 60, it's like Juheon pretended that entire section never existed, the way he handled that highschool bully (yet ended up acting the same into he way he belittled his emotions/perspective), the way Dohu did confirm that his emotions don't work like other people, that he's slow to process, but still proceeds to say Juheon was the only one for him at the end of chap 60, like - did he think Dohu lied about everything??? Talk about being in your own head that you trampled someone's feeling like that. The only thing Dohu did wrong was keeping the document despite not intending to use it to actually publish, and not actively speaking up/defending (but you can argue that he doesn't actually know how as it's his first relationship and first everything and he already doesn't process things the same so it'll inevitably come off differently). I do like Juheon, but in this regards I think he was more in the wrong in comparison to Dohu.

I mean yeah he did think Dohu lied about everything? He wasn’t honest from the beginning, juheon was the one who always sought after Dohu, juheon is the one who initiated the I like you’s, like obviously he’s gonna doubt him. Dohu is a grown man who recognized what he did was bad but didn’t tell him, he doesn’t need to be babied.

You seem to give Dohu a lot of grace, but juheon is the one with trauma. Being used by his family, talked down on, etc. learning that your partner who you trusted and loved did the same thing as your messed up family is traumatizing and he had every right to leave and say his peace.

And even now juheon has every right to deny dohus feelings. If juheon was the uke and Dohu was the seme and was stalking him, getting kicked out of buildings, and saying “in order for me to leave you have to go on 5 dates with me”, the hate would be insane.

? You're quite the Juheon glazer yourself I see, I doubt you even understand perspectives outside your own, especially different ways of thinking of you thought what I said I was "babying" dohu. I shouldn't even waste typing this since I know you won't care regardless, but here I am baffled. Good luck with whatever you're dealing with man.

“Don’t understand perspectives outside of my own” based on what? Literally just insulted me for no reason just cause I understand juheons perspective lmao.

I get Juheon's issue but he gravitated to that single point and refused to see everything else about Dohu. He ended up assuming the same albeit slightly similar (lying and using) but completely different scale from what his family does.

And it seems like there is an assumption that Dohu is completely normal, rather he does not have any difficulties even when it's obvious to us readers.

This is just my personal opinion, but it’s clear that Juheon is struggling mentally and he’s dealing with deep trauma from his family. When he found out that Dohu did something similar (even if to a lesser extent), he chose to walk away, which is completely understandable. Dohu apologized sincerely and poured his heart out in the end, and while I think he did everything right, it still wasn’t enough and that’s okay. Juheon doesn’t owe him forgiveness.

I also agree that Dohu clearly has his own struggles, but that doesn’t excuse what he did at the start and that’s really the core issue here. Juheon got upset because Dohu hid the truth, but honestly, not wanting to tell someone something out of fear of their reaction is a very human and relatable feeling. Dohu recognized what he did was wrong, and is now seeking out Juheon. My biggest issue is just the amount of people who disregard juheons trauma and decision to cut it off with Dohu, and want to see Juheon “suffer” by bringing in a second male lead and getting him jealous. As if we haven’t seen him suffer enough. Like Dohu is working hard to bring this man back and people want a second male lead?? Even tho Dohu has only ever felt feelings for juheon??
