@Tetiana Seems to me he's coping well enough if he was able to face his ex head-on and draw a line. He doesn't need to speedrun everything. The fact that he was able to deal with a homophobic roommate (Jae - who, bdw, as an adult did all those things so there's no excuse for that) for that long and was able to face his shi*** ex, I'd say Garam is already pretty strong and is doing well. He doesn't need 'help', he needs understanding and patience.

@Tetiana lmao dude he was shunned out of his high school do you understand? we'll talk when you'd realise the depth of how traumatizing it is to get shunned out of school to the point having to go to whole different school because the guy you trusted and loved said garam tried to sexually abused him into gayness. You say he's insecure? Well seems like you're just like Jae cause even you can't understand how this is all corelated. 

Imagine someone getting mock in the whole school bc of their skin colour to the point people don't even touch them cause they believe skin colour is 'contagious' and 'dirty' (and all this happens in a very crucial growing year 14-18yrs) now tell that person who has developed a fear of being mocked for his skin colour that they are just 'insecure and it's a self-esteemed issue. They are not ashamed of skin colour bc they can't just accept themselves. They are ashamed and afraid of the consequences the world can bring to them bc of the skin colour(bullying, mocking, hating) CAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN AND EXPERIENCED IT. 

You know the water is hot, so would you go and dip your face into it? Nope, you won't. You probably would have learned from previous experienced that touching hot water hurts. That's how nervous system works. It remembers the things that hurt us. It is not just 'self-esteem' issue. 
I tried to explain it well but if you don't undrstand it now then cannot be helped. Your answer is so out of touch with reality that I genuinely had to take a moment to react.

@Kokoro I agree with you. It's a strong case of him being stupid more than anything else. I still believe Jae would never deliberately hurt Garam and would do anything for him, but he is going about it in his stupid ways. It's not the fact that he wants to love openly is the problem, it's the fact that he is so stubborn he fails to see anyone's perspective but his own. I feel annoyed cause he made all that progress in past episodes and season only to come undone like this. 

I probably would read it again after 3-4 chapters have come out. I hope the author finds a better resolution than a forced make up s** with dubcon elements (classic way to make up in most BLs).

@Seohu exactly! I rated it high cause I loved the last season. Now I'm just hating it lmao.

@Seohu Right? It's like Jae has all this good intention but he's consistently going about in all the wrong ways. Considering they have been together for maybe 6 months at best, Jae is reaching extreme. It's like when he was homophobic, he was pushy about it and made garam;s life he** and now he's supposedly not homophobic and is gay so now he wants to be out and push garam to out himself too. He tells garam that he's okay leaving family, friends, and popularity for Garam right after few months of dating and let's not forget what happened before they were even dating.
I can see some people live life like that but Garam is getting whipped up in all his whims and fancies and it's starting to get annoying. It is pis**** me off that he has turned into this character with little emotional wavelength. He wants to do everything with brute force. Up until the last chapter I had hopes that this would turn better and sensible, but it took the worst route possible. Idk what the he** author is thinking lmao is this rage baiting?

The only worst thing than this can be them having 'make up s**' without actually having the proper convo.

@WesRem18 don't care xP

@Tetiana now that's not true. I know multiple therapists, I know multiple people who are in therapy, and I've studied enough case studies to know that's just not true. You're implying there's only a one way. It's not a one size for all. For some sexual assault result in hypersexualism, for some sexual assault result in complete sh** down, for some sexual assault turns into guilty which turns into self harm. I'm just giving an example. He's not 'sticking' to it cause he wants to. It's what his nervous system has learn through trial and action. You just don't forget it.

@Seohu Idk why the burden of understand is completely on Garam here. Jae is expected to be more understanding too after Garam has confided into him about his past and after jae himself has been the part of the problem in the past. I don't get why it needs to be extreme. I expected from him better. Brute force is surely one way but I would've liked it better if he had just given Garam just some time to come in terms with coming out. The only fault of Garam was not sharing his bday with Jae but even that is understanble considering he never even celebrated it.

@little_griffin fr what did he eat how did he come to this logic? why couldn't he take a normal route like fine garam, let's go on your pace. yes, Garam I understand I was also part of the problem. Nope...I see no understanding. All I see is his dedication to convince Garam that being out and in the open is the only way.

@Tetiana we'll talk about your fascination when you'd start to stop ignoring how trauma works in real life. It's not a simple get over it. I'm sure you know that and yet you are choosing to overlook Garam's very normal trauma response. That's fascinating to me.
