@Baek Eunyung After mc transmigrated into the novel, she tries her best to make it obvious that she doesn't have any lingering feelings towards Raymond anymore. Of course, just like everyone else; Raymond doesn't believe her. I mean how could they? For years, the princess had been pining and pining for her crush and suddenly she doesn't like him anymore??? The most rational thought would be that original Agnes went crazy than actually falling out of love for Raymond.
And so for those chapters whereas mc tries to stay away from Raymond and find ways to spend time with Kyle, Raymond had been living in anxiety, wondering when Agnes would start doing the things she once did to Raymond again. He was so focused on thinking of ways to avoid Agnes, he wasn't able to actually take the time and think about his feelings.
Until, Agnes got into that accident. The day she was bedridden for a while, Raymond; for the first time, was actually able to take the time and think about his feelings. And he did.
It's not that Raymond is a delusional son of a bi*** for realising his feelings only after Agnes gives up, it's that; on the day Agnes 'loses' her memories of Raymond, Raymond was able to free away from his anxieties of original Agnes's obsession and finally think of himself. Finally think about his feelings and his emotions which he tossed away other than hatred directed to Agnes because he was so wallowed in his suffering that he couldn't properly organise his emotions.
I don't ship Raymond with mc nor do I see any ounce of chemistry between them at all. I do agree and hope that one day, Raymond can move on from his regrets and forget those sugar coated memories of original kid Agnes.
But hey, let's at least be open to different perspectives and think about it. Is Raymond really the guy, we should be hating on?
On final year of highschool, laozi is refraining themself from further reading.
