Comment by Kimberly Mackey on A Tree Without Roots - Chapter 34

@Kimberly Mackey Seriously. I mean, MC has A LOT of issues and his behavior shouldn't be normalized or romanticized, but what bothers me the most is that Taekhyung is very aware of this and about his fragile mental state, so grow the fu** up man, the kid needs clarity, not a "think what you want" when you KNOW the mess his head is and what he's capable of. It reminds me a little of Home alone together, but now we're getting clarity on Taekhyung's past, I don't necessarily understand his behavior to empathize with him

@LucidNarwhal he's keeping it a secret for Hee seo's mom, she didn't want her son to find out, over the years it kept biting at her which is y she was probably so depressed

@Yourmom I get it, I truly do. Taekhyung has his own issues and I can get him trying to preserve her memory, but I'll be cold here: she's dead and the kid isn't (but clearly wants to be). I'm not saying it's his duty to love him or endure his erratic and increasingly dangerous behavior, at all, but Taekhyung seemed on his right mind back then and he knew what his words might do.
Don't get me wrong, what I love about the story is that both of them are so damaged and they're trying what they can to push forward, even when it's unhealthy for themselves and the people around them. If the story would've not shown any of these themes with a questionable light at the very least I would've drop it long ago already, but I have great expectations for this because the way the plot and the twisted cheaters are explored and portrayed.
But yes, Taekhyung attitude back then still seemed childish and stubborn in a way that makes no sense in the story if you ask me.
