Part 3-
Bruh, I *TRULY* enjoyed this story until the very last chapter. When I read Min-jae's POV immediately after reading the main story I didn't think too much about it because I thought well, he is obsessed with Hee-chan because he loves him, ofcourse he doesn't want him to go away, how cute and adorable. But when I calmed down after a while, I realised that there were various things wrong.

My opinion is that while Hee-chan genuinely loves Min-jae, Min-jae’s feelings are different. Min-jae admits that Hee-chan gives him the same excitement, fulfillment, and content that his sport once did. Though the story presents what Minjae feels for Hee-chan as love, I read it more convincingly as obsession. Love does not deliberately create fear, anxiety, and emotional dependence, right? Min-jae weaponizes Hee-chan’s trauma to ensure he can never leave.
What makes this revelation especially difficult to accept is that throughout the main story, Min-jae appeared caring, nurturing, and selfless—helping Hee-chan without being asked, supporting even those around him, his workers, the Organic Club members, the gay friend. However now it seems to me as though calculated. In hindsight, even Min-jae’s line—“I will make sure you’re never able to get away from me”—sounds less romantic and more chilling now.
From this perspective, Hee-chan is bound to Min-jae partly by fate and partly by carefully manufactured “coincidences".
