Comment by animadeus on When Life Gives You Tomatoes - Chapter 17

@animadeus I think Horang got to know Ahjo's personality during their school years and their interactions in the storage room. He fell in love not only with his appearance, but also with his personality. And that's Horang's problem! That is, these events from the past, and the fact that they turned out to be alpha and omega (but not in the way everyone expected) and this problem with pheromones - it's all complicated, but Horang horrified not by this, but by what Ahjo's character and behavior have become.
And that's where these "MY Ahjo would/wouldn't" come from.

@ItsNotOverYet  I get what you're saying, but don't forget that he was deeply in love with Ahjo and that's bound to alter his perception. Even more as kids, we tend to overlook the bad things in people we love. And this case (from our pov) it's even more blatant: Ahjo was already a brat and could defend himself, but Horang saw him as this innocent tiny omega who needs people to save him from bad guys, when in fact he never once asked for help (ch 7 when the older kids approached him is a perfect exemple). Ahjo tried to open, but Horang refused to see him as an equal human and kept putting him on a pedestal.. and cherished that image of Ahjo for years, while from Ahjo’s pov that image is the reason Horang tried to assault him and ruined his life. Then disappeared once it crumbled.

@animadeus  I get your point.
I'd just add that there's a bit of Horang's personality there, I think. That is, he'll most likely still get into a fight to protect Ahjo (not because he's an omega—now he's as big as a closet, and an alpha, and Horang is smaller and weaker than him), but simply because that's who he is.
And I still don't fully understand what happened between them that day. Because they were both already out of their minds even before they drank that drugged drink. And that ear bite? So many questions!
And I was amused by how the Ahjo family's assistant explained that they already wanted to declare horang the culprit of the SA, but as soon as it turned out that Horang is not the alpha, and Ahjo is the alpha, then it seemed like the culprit changed(some kind of discrimination against alphas)😂
