@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.

@im tired THIS! It pmo sm how Juhyeok's perspective is always being overlooked, they focuses on how pitiful the ml has become, while ignoring the mc's situation, clinging into seeking help from the ml in desperate to survive even if he doesn't like the idea of the situation, it's not being selfish, it's because he doesn't have any other choice.
@im tired Sun was a child! He didn't understand what was wrong with his body and he was scared to tell Jun because he's always wanted to be an alpha..even then Sun was thinking of Jun! It was never explicitly said that he did it intentionally since he was young.

Even then! Jun found out from childhood that Sun has been spreading his pheromones! He ran away, yet Sun keeps showing up and showing up. He did a big show and speech about never needing him, yet he doesn't see how hypocritical he's being.

Darling ain't no control of bodily functions happening here! That's not what the pheromones does! Sun has always been trying to approach him and fix things! It's been at least 15 years! Give the da** kid a chance! He's a freaking adult and goes on and on about independence but ha never made a tangible effort to stop being dependant!

And! Lest you all comfortable forgot, it was Sun's pheromones that has protected him at every interval! And Jun refuses to acknowledge that. It's a matter of not seeing it from Jun's perspective...just because I see it from his perspective doesn't mean it's right. He's literally using Sun as a c** dispenser! Disgusting behavior
