Comment by Kokoro on Tetiana

@Tetiana you wrote it like that. "Even torture" and that it's "understandable"

and yes garam hurt jaehyuk with his insecurities and the actions he took because of that. He did that not aware of the pain he'd inflict, because he's too caught up in his old wounds.(not a good thing but just fact, trauma doesn't just vanish because you found someone who loves you).It's really painful to watch since he's hurting his partner and himself with it.
if jeahyuk now would inflict pain on purpose it would be a completely different thing. It would show a evil character. That's why I hope he won't. It was good of him to give garam an ultimatum. Garam needs to pull himself out enough to make a decision for or against the relationship. jaehyuk made clear he wants a relationship out of the closet. Clear set boundaries are a good first step.

even if you use the word "torture" as a metaphor (not synonym), it still means to purposefully hurt someone to force what you want.
that's not fighting for love. People don't hurt people to get back together with them. That's not how love works.

@Kokoro Torture, pain, torment, anguish, distress, agony etc. - these are synonyms, and I meant "torture" as synonym, not as metaphor. "A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to suggest a resemblance", e.g. Time is Money - "we don't literally mean that time is the same as money, but we try to say that the value of time is equivalent to money, so don't waste time". Can be googled anywhere.
Back to the actual topic. Your opinion, as well as all others, is valid, too, but not universal: Jaehyuk in this webtoon seems to feel differently from you in real life, so let him have his way to cope with the situation. I don't want to know how you would feel if you had - in real life - a similar case, and I think you don't know either, 'cause it all depends on so many factors.
I feel with Jaehyuk, and I wholly support him. Revenge or not, that's a very possible outcome people in a relationship have to deal with when they don't pay (enough) attention to their partner, but only to themselves and their own misery/trauma. If you are too fixed on yourself, then you might not be ready for a relationship. That seems to be the case with Garam right now.
