@ILYSMSKZ It's a bad translation... Deukpal means that he helps Sekyung so that he can be comfortable breathing again.

@Iken Only one personality, and a social mask like everyone else in Korea...

@Twinkle Star He never pretended to care about him.
And guess what, most people won't help when someone gets bullied, especially in Asian schools. That's reality.
Also Deukpal didn't meet Sekyung on the day of Iheon's suicide.

@Cherry To be fair there are many people living in Germany that are quite direct. Even towards their own family. It's not necessarily a bad trait, I think...

@Seohu Just to be clear, there's no romance in the beginning,

Later in the story, Deukpal will return Sekyung's affection, the some stuff happens and he will hate himself for liking Sekyung.

And in the Side Stories we will get this scene:

@C Lover They're not even together yet...

@Seohu Both bodies are 19 yrs old.

@I love sweets Sure, let's enjoy the story.
Just on point, you mentioned MC deserves better? I guess you mean the original soul? There's this around chapter 90 in the novel

 

@I love sweets First of all, please use Enter more often 😅 
Second you said again that ML's behavior around MC is annoying and stupid - but for ML MC still is another person, not MC. ML still doesn't know that Iheon is dead, he doesn't even know that it is the same body. That's why he collected the hair from MC, his mum and the dad (on the day of the funeral if you remember).
ML's thought process to this point is that he wants Iheon to return (again, not the soul, he wants Iheon in person to return since he doesn't know anything more than what Deukpal told him), but he wouldn't mind if the fake Iheon - Deukpal - stays. 

Iheon's soul will watch the trial of the bully and how he and his gang get sentenced and then forgives the bully what he did to him. But that's for later to happen.

I think I don't get your main point, you're saying ML has no business with MC since he only watched him getting bullied? 
If yes, then no. Everyone watches at some point someone getting bullied and doesn't do anything about it. Just because Iheon was treated badly by his family and broke after all the bullying you want ML to take responsibility for Iheon's suicide. Yeah, no, that's not how the world works or even should work. There are real perpetrators in Iheon's case and ML is not one of them.

@I love sweets Well, as far as it is known ML's father kept him under strict surveillance since he was 6 years old (since his father assumed ML killed that girl), his entire life was just showing his mask and then suddenly a guy who was in love with him and ran away on a rainy night a few days before that didn't even recognize him when he was asking him about books.
Of course it would pique his interest. So far that he wanted to know what's going on - and getting into a brawl with him where he got told that Iheon jumped off a bridge. Then everything changed, but only because Deukpal didn't treat him like everyone else.

And as far as I can see he lets Deukpal make any decision he wants to make - he still wants to know what is going on. And he will soon. Him being fussy is for us readers to get story. And at least in this one it's not like "Oh sure, your soul swapped, I believe you"... Deukpal even told Sekyung after the brawl in ch 18 that the real Iheon will be coming back soon.

@I love sweets ML already regretted that he didn't take the real Iheon in when he was standing in front of him, then ran away and jumped.
What would distancing himself do more? 

Most people only start to regret something when it's gone.
And ML only regrets what happened because Deukpal told him that Iheon jumped. Otherwise he would still be this strange guy that is basically his father's prisoner.

@Ren Dude...

The thing is the real Iheon had nobody he could rely on, not even his own mother... and yes, in South Korea, actually in most countries in this world the victim has to state that they were bullied before serious action is taken.

@Your_Local_tea_addict Garam told him that in this homophobic shithole called South Korea he should take his few brain cells and think about it. There are no anti discrimination laws against qu*** people in South Korea, so he might want to take his time thinking about it.

@Le*** Please don't out yourself as stupider than you already are 😅

@vivvi0 Just cuz you do doesn't mean everyone else does.



Let's be real, you'd gladly take someone like ML cuz he'd do anything for you. You just hating on him because you couldn't understand the story.

@vivvi0 Is he though? Cuz ML was the only one ever saying what he actually wants and where he sets boundaries. Ya know, this talking everyone on you wants so much... so now saying that you don't want such a manipulative jerk is just hilarious, how you're not even ashamed to show the entire world how stupid you are 🤣

@Le*** Don't hate on the author when you are too stupid to understand the story.

@_dinosaurgayo At the end of S1 MC vanished, to the past, so we can see the past, of course there will be a happy ending. This entire sh** with misfortunes will be purged was so da** stupid, but whatever.
