"Why did he never tell me?" As he's actively remembering Zayden telling him about possibly dying, that man is STUPID!

I don't think he's in love with her. I don't think he even likes her in a romantic way, I genuinely see platonic affection, and mutual respect between them. If the author/artist was trying to convey love well,,,,,,, idk what to tell you. It's like he explains it in this chapter, she sees him, she hears him out, and he's appreciative of that because no one has ever done that with him. That's why I think what they have is a very special bond, but it's not romantic.

 

Well, that's my opinion at least. 

And this is exactly why I love this manhwa—the realism! Like yes, they both hurt each other, badly, but the fact that Seong-rik still managed to gather the courage to go find Jin-hyeong and seek closure? That hit so hard. It was genuinely precious to me. Even though they’re not technically friends anymore, the bond they have is so much deeper and stronger than just a label—and it shows.

The character growth? Insane. Watching Seong-rik slowly shed that whole inferiority complex and start actually understanding other people’s pain instead of just being consumed by his own? That was so satisfying. Like finally, he gets it. I loved that for him.

And Jin-hyeong hiding himself away, isolating like that… G**, it broke me. I felt it. My chest physically hurt. It really showed how fragile he was, not just after the final blow, but from the very beginning. He was falling apart quietly, and no one saw it. That kind of pain? Devastating.

And honestly, shoutout to the author and artist because the way they portray emotions?? Too good. Painfully good. I shouldn’t be feeling this much over fictional characters—but here I am, heart shattered every time something happens.

To be honest, when I first started reading it, I didn’t have high expectations. I thought it would be decent at best. But chapter by chapter, I found myself falling deeper—for the story, the characters, the pain, the growth. That’s why this manhwa is one of my forever favorites.

People in this comment section are seriously pis**** me off. You’re out here saying Jin-hyeong went too far in this chapter (which, I admit, and wholeheartedly agree with)—but when Seong-rik kicked off a full-on bullying campaign, deliberately targeting the insecurities Jin-hyeong confided in him, you all shrugged and said, “they’re just kids.” Come on. Use some common sense. How is it okay for one person to push someone to the brink of madness and be excused for it, but when the other finally breaks and lashes out, suddenly your moral compass starts working again? Give me a fuc**** break.

Anyway. Yes, I do understand where Jin-hyeong was coming from (at least in the first part of the chapter), but he seriously fuc*** up. Just like Seong-rik did. They both clearly cared about each other—wanted to be each other’s family—but they also knew exactly how to hurt one another. And they did. That’s what makes this so brutal to watch.

Neither of them deserves what happened, but they’re also not innocent or too young to know better. Jin-hyeong knew what he was saying, and Seong-rik knew exactly what he was doing when he broke Jin-hyeong down. These weren’t accidents, they were choices.

This isn’t just drama. This is about two people trying to build something real—something like family—in a world that’s already failed them, and then tearing each other apart because they didn’t know how else to survive. And now they’re left with the wreckage of what could’ve been.

Now that’s some bullshit if I’ve ever heard any. What do you mean “my trauma is worse than yours, so you shouldn’t complain”? That logic is toxic as he**. Yes, Seong-rik’s trauma is heavy, but that doesn’t cancel out what Jin-hyeong went through. Just because it wasn’t physical doesn’t mean it didn’t leave damage. Emotional abuse, constant pressure, never feeling good enough? That’s real, and it hurts just as deeply.

People forget that we’re talking about two different people, with four different parents, and completely separate emotional makeups. What breaks one person might not break another, and that doesn’t make either experience invalid.

And Seong-rik? He was a di** for thinking that using Jin-hyeong’s weaknesses would somehow make him run away with him. That’s not love, or brotherhood, that’s manipulation. That’s not someone trying to connect, that’s someone trying to control. I don’t care how broken he feels, he fuc*** up. Big time.

Yeah, they’re teenagers. But they’re not clueless. They know what’s right and what’s messed up. No matter how much pain Seong-rik is in, what he did to Jin-hyeong crossed a line. If I were in Jin-hyeong’s shoes, I’d hate him too. 

I do have to say that this is one of the most realistic portrayals I’ve seen of how an inferiority complex can rot someone from the inside out and make them selfish and blind to what they’re actually doing.

I get that people want to excuse their actions by saying “they’re just kids,” but let’s be honest—they’re in high school. That means they’re old enough to know the difference between right and wrong, and they’re capable of thinking critically and making choices. So no, I don’t think we should brush off their behavior as childish or harmless.

Yes, Jin-hyeong wasn’t exactly kind to Seong-rik, but that doesn’t justify what Seong-rik did in return. He exposed Jin-hyeong’s vulnerabilities and made him a target. That’s calculated. That’s betrayal. And while I understand that Seong-rik has been through a lot—especially with a father as cruel and damaging as his—what he did still caused real harm. It’s possible to acknowledge his pain without excusing his actions.

I’ve honestly never felt this conflicted about a character I once liked. It’s hard to watch someone you care about cross a line like this. And no, bullying isn’t cute or redeemable just because it comes from a fan-favorite or a “traumatized” character. These choices have weight, and they shouldn’t be dismissed.

 

A shi*** person will have a shi*** ending, praying on the downfall and m u r d e r of Kang Jaeha, otherwise known as the bitchass pimp

Where's that person that kept defending Jeongwon, I'd LOVE to see them try and justify his actions here, since he's an angel from heaven, and Inwoo is an idiot that doesn't care about Jeongwon enough. 
Like, please, for fu*** sake, use that godd***** head of yours and THINK!!

I've never liked her a**. Her comments are unnecessary, and passive aggressive. She's a sad, jealous person and she KNOWS it.
