@Candle I get why you’re frustrated, but I think this take glosses over the part that’s actually disturbing for a lot of readers. Intent doesn’t erase impact. Even if Suha thought he was “protecting” Juhyeok, he altered Juhyeok’s body and pheromones without his knowledge or consent, to the point where Juhyeok is now dependent on Suha just to stay stable. That’s a huge loss of bodily autonomy, especially for an athlete whose career depends on control over his body.
Juhyeok’s resentment isn’t about omegas being “weak.” It’s about having his future, his training, and his independence quietly taken out of his hands. Being forced to rely on someone you didn’t choose—no matter how well-intentioned—is terrifying, not romantic. Wanting agency over your own body doesn’t make him selfish or ungrateful.
You can acknowledge Suha’s feelings and still recognize that what he did crossed a line. Both things can be true.
I come here to escape reality
