Comment on ChapterThe Selfish Romance - Chapter 49

I think I'm gonna get downvoted but I'm really swayed by the ex. It's cause I understand his POV. I do think it's love that he feels for her. Notice how he says his heart doesn't feel fluttered but in that one panel of yoomin, she was sparkling in his eyes (idk how to insert the image). He does love her if he only wants to be with her and he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. The way the author draws the flashbacks, he has special feelings for her. I want them to be together... but then Hyundo shows up at the end and it breaks my heart. At this point, I'm really at a crossroad. But come on y'all let's admit that it was super cute that the neighbors chanted at her to give him another chance. The author is really breaking my heart with the ex. I'm not a fan of those endings where the main ends up with the unexpected male, but I'm sort of hoping she'll end up with her ex? I really do think this is realistic fight between couples. Unless the show the ex in a bad light, I'm fine with whoever she ends up with/

@GummyBears Listen I understand you, BUT we aren't gonna ignore that fact that the ONLY reason he dated her was because he felt like he NEEDED to, so he had no interest in her, yeah he somewhat fell throughout the relationship but it isn't enough, they have been together for years and all he felt was something that felt like love?? Yeah no, only she's gonna get hurt further and he will only lose a close friend

@MangaDaBest When he first met her, it does seem like she stood out to him out of everyone though. Maybe he really doesn't know what love is unless he's been with another person. Honestly, the fact that he doesn't want to be with anyone else except her, what else is that called if it isn't love? I can't see her getting hurt because beside this problem at hand, he's never hurt her before and said multiple times he wants to spend his life with her.

@GummyBears totally agree. Like whoever she ends up with imma feel bad for who she didn't with. It's making my mind go nuts. I'm loving both mls

@Zara Yeah this might be the only one where I'm fine with whoever she ends up with. I hope the guy that doesn't end up with Yoomin find a nice girl!

What Iseon feels for Yumin is platonic love I guess. Basically he wants a bestfriend rather than a girlfriend 🤔

@Haruhi It seems like matured love to me. He seems like one of those people who isn't aware of what love is but since they broke up he's clearly missing her. He's never done anything horrible and seems like a good guy. They look really cute togher so I'm empathizing with him so hard.

@GummyBears

While I do agree with your points; the only thing I feel off about this whole senario is that he was fine with just letting her go and if she came back she came back. He wasn't originally doing anything to get her back until Hyundo came into the picture. Iseon was put into senarios with her and chances because of other people. I'm not saying his love wasn't true, but it's like that saying "You don't know what you have until you loose it.". He's on the verge of loosing her and now we talk about the reasons/troubles. I'm hurt for Yoomin because I would hate to be in this situation. Her goal was to get back together with Iseon but ultimately started to let those feelings go and move on because she had Hyundo. She knows what's in store with Iseon and what could happen mature love or not, it's a safe choice. Hyundo isn't stable love, he's dependent so it's like...actually are either really stable? If one doesn't express his feelings truly (which is hard!) and the other one will give everything and not think of himself?

IDK anymore...I am still rooting for Hyundo though, I do not want him to run back to his toxic ex!

@Bixby I'm genuinely sorry if I'm forgetting something, but I don't really ever remember the ex as being toxic and someone said after everything he's done and I'm just here like huh what did he do beside this phone call? I do agree with the part you said about him fine letting her go, I felt the same at that part. With Hyundo, there's still his ex being involved and I feel it in my guts she's going to appear later and there's going to be problems with her. This situation here isn't cleaned up completely either. Let's just see how it progresses. I do think Hyundo is the endgame which seems obvious from the start.

@GummyBears

I was talking about Hyundo's ex being toxic, not Iseon. He hasn't been toxic in the slightest just...not comunicative, basically. Everything unfortuneately could just flip again with Hyundo's ex still being on the scene. T oT I too also hope Hyundo's ex doesn't cause issues...but it's a drama for a reason. But yes I can't wait to see how this unfurals, but my heart hurts for everyone besides Hyundo's ex.

@GummyBears it's called comfort, since he doesn't know what love is he will naturally side with mc because he's been with her the longest it's Natural he will feel like he's in love with her only because they've been together for a long time BUT he still doesn't love her hes just comfortable with her and will side with her simply because he feels comfort being with her,
