Never been in a position like this but at their age, yeah, hugging between bestfriends (man and woman at that) is a big deal. And we all know there's this, "he/she's just my bestfriend" then proceeds to pick that bff over you. Smth like that. Its in their age, puberty.
no, it's really not, in my teenage years I hugged my friends all the time they weren't even my best friends, why should we sexualize everything? platonic relationships exist. and that is why guys and women have awkward relationships with each other because of thoughts like that. Also, gay people exist? you are literally reading a manhwa about that, why do we have friendships with same-sex where it's fine if we hug but straight people don't with the opposite sex?
Chanil doesn't know cirrus and ri-in are that close, he just knows they are friends but cirrus and ri-in never gave details to chan-il and they agreed that they won't reveal what kind of relationship cirrus and ri-in actually have
Chan-il's reaction is valid and understandable, cirrus is avoiding him and chan-il doesn't know the reason or he can only guess why cirrus avoids him. When you have a friend that barely opens up to you and they do shit that you don't know that they can do, of course you'll have doubts. Chan-il barely knows the real cirrus, cirrus barely opens up, ofc he's gonna think that way
You also forget the fact they lived their lives in Korea which being LGBTQ is a taboo and looked down upon. Even though they all know that gay ppl exists they won't acknowledge that because it's not a norm. AND it's a stereotype I think our society needs to change too, being friends between opposite sex doesn't always mean it's in romantic applications, but we live in a society that thinks being friendly with the opposite sex is enough to say that you like that person romantically which I can say it's a problem but that's how ppl view that even in this day and age.
he still knows they are friends. also, Cirrus literally appear in distress why he would fuck someone when he clearly looks so depressed, and where the girl literally rushed because she looked worried, and why the fuck Cirrus will introduce them to each other if he liked the girl.
as I said it's looked like she was consoling a friend rather than cheating
They are friends BUT WHAT KIND OF FRIENDS EXACTLY?, chan-il is also in distress, so idk if he would really care if cirrus has an urgent thing going on ABT that's prolly not important in his mind. Ri-in immediately left without looking up from her phone, how could he make up an expression from her, why else would he be acting normal when she left the restaurant and leaving her bag outside her apartment happily while thinking about her?. Sure he thought it was weird that she left early but he prolly thinks it was urgent and he would ask about that later. And the question about why would cirrus introduce ri-in to him if cirrus likes ri-in, if chan-il overthinks he'll prolly think cirrus started developing feelings for ri-in while she was in a relationship with chan-il, or idk anything can happen.
Seeing a friend and your girlfriend hugging in the middle of the night outside while the other is crying and the other is caressing his cheek? If I didn't know cirrus was gay I would prolly thought ri-in was cheating too in chan-il's perspective. The fact you barely know your own bestfriend too, it's natural to have some doubts about them if they really are a good person or a bad person behind their back.
she rushed where she said are you joking where she was clearly worried and her voice was shaking where he was looking at her face, not something that struck me rushing out of happiness she literally wouldn't leave her boyfriend alone if it wasn't something urgent,
so are you saying if your friend got beaten by his father or his dad died you won't be touching him? you would give him a hand shake?
dog dead*
dog died* goddamit
i meant to dislike
it's there hon you gave me a dislike rest assured
Lmfaooo!! Preach!!
Ngl, I agree with u that Chan-il has been mad annoying like if someone is obviously avoiding you, have some dignity and ignore them too. But looking at the situation of Chan-il who’s been over thinking for who knows how long, I HIGHLY doubt he’s looking at anything from a rational standpoint. Am I defending him for attacking Cirrus like that? No. Not a chance in hell. But I think it’s obvious that Chan-il isn’t looking at those details and is coming up with his own train of thought.
Based on your response, you read this and the encounters in here solely limited to your perspective. However, on a wider sense, not everyone is like you. Most common than not, people get jealous over heterogenous friendships especially when the person involved in the romantic relationship is in a heterogenous relationship. Second, yes this is a "bl manhwa", however, it is a "manhwa". Do the characters know its supposed to be bl manhwa? No. Does Chan Il know Cirrus is gay? No. Have you ever had a brother or have evrr been in thr mind of boys/men to know that even for friendships, a fight could start with jealousy?
There's a lot of realism in here which does not, obviously, fit your perspective, or so much more it seems, which you are unaware of. I hope you could read this more with an open mind. And with the thought that not all stories (may it be fictional or real life) is limited to your experiences alone.
Happy reading.
I'm talking here about your opinion, the "And we all know there's this, "he/she's just my best friend" then proceeds to pick that bff over you" seems like talking about your opinion. also just because he thinks a girl and boy can't hug each other if it is not romantic because it is society's norm, it's not any less annoying. Also, I wish he asked his girlfriend first before being violent and asking the guy he knows that he wouldn't answer his question. of course, I know guys who fought over a woman that why I'm finding Chan il annoying right now also because they never ask about the woman's opinion in the first place.
I'm not finding him annoying because of that I just find him annoying because I find him annoying. While at first it was normal for him not to think rationally but it already passed a lot of time since he had a chance to think rationally about it before he became violent. he knows Cirrus has a rough home life because he witnessed his father abusing him + he knows Cirrus and Ri-in are friends and know each other + Ri-in was clearly worried when she left he was looking at her face + Cirrus looked depressed when she was hugging him. it was easy to put 2 +2 together really.
Chan Il is really starting to get on my nerves, at first, I liked him but lately, I find him annoying. you knew they were best friends, did you really think a hug between best friends is that big of a deal?
edit: I love how people applaud him for asking Cirrus about it (aggressively) may I add but never bothered to ask his girlfriend, that shows how he trusts his girlfriend.
