Jinyoung is the biggest victim in this story so far. He was dragged into in love triangle and will just get his feelings hurt for no reason
I like Seonhee, she seems like such a mature chill character. I actually like the interactions between her and Jaemin even though Jaemin doesn't feel the same towards her. She knows he likes Bomi and Bomi likes him (possibly) and only wants her friends happy.
(Also young Seonhee and Jaemin are so dang cute!)
Poor Jinyoung, Bomi needs to not string him along and lay out the truth.
To be honest though, I feel that this is one of those webtoons where it's not going to be centered just on one person's romance, but probably about all four students, though I could be wrong.

Thanks for the chapter! Jinyoung buddy I`m so sorry for you, you don`t deserve shit like this
she better lay it out to him and not string him along but looking at the first chapter we probably won`t get that.

Tbh comparing bomi and seonhee, seonhee is a lot more smarter in terms of irl situations and bomi is just naive.
Bomi has the typical good natured but kinda dumb fl cliche even tho she seems academically smart.
Seonhee is a bit a aggressive but I like her she doesn’t seem like a bad person and is more interesting than bomi. (I said what I said)
I think seonhee and jinyoung would have a funny friendship so I’d like to see them interact more.

@Kuroku2 @Areux Am I reading the same series as everyone else here, because it feels like people are forgetting this is all Seonhee's fault to begin in claiming she's somehow smarter or more mature? Or did I misremember that she just blurted out her real feelings in public while having never told her friend beforehand (despite at least suspecting she liked Jaemin and the viceversa), while claiming it was a lie later on. So basically she did the same thing Bomi is doing right now. Ignoring her own feelings for the sake of their friendship, but not before putting Bomi in the public firing line to try and quell any rumors or drama of a love triangle and discord that was never anyone elses business to know and she had been completely unaware was even a thing up until that point. She's really not smart and not because she's dumb but because she acts before thinking. While she's definitely not as naive as Bomi the fact of the matter is this whole awkward situation is as much her fault because neither she nor Bomi truly want to talk about it after digging this hole everyone is now stuck in IMO.
@krimzonhawka
That was in response to those other girls trying to pressure Bomi to get more info/push Bomi's feeling about Jaemin if I remember correctly. Those girls weren't backing off and that one girl was being really persistent like, "Do you like Jaemin, just curious cause I like Jaemin but I can't get close to him." But then she's spinning around and saying she was hoping Bomi would help her get closer to Jaemin.
And so Seonhee's like, "Well, I like Jaemin, so I don't like it," in retaliation to shut off those other girls from pressuring Bomi to become their wingman. I'm sure that's not the best move, but we see she's being honest and is a blunt character. She's also telling Bomi that she doesn't even need to answer those girls when they tried to cause a rift saying "oooh can you guys even stay friends if you both like the same guy?"
And then we see Bomi's people pleasing flaw with her lying about liking gamer boy. It may be partially due to Seonhee's confession, but it's also due to Bomi being pressured to not cause drama and wanting to please everyone. She didn't have to answer to those girls at all, neither continue to pile on her lie.
Seonhee, as Jaemin pointed out, is a observant character. The whole situation obviously bothers her because she could see that Bomi isn't being truthful, but she can't force Bomi to admit it either. Seonhee has flaws too obviously as you pointed out. I wouldn't say that this whole situation is her fault because honestly what did she do wrong? She probably meant to keep her feelings to herself and is content with having Bomi stay with Jaemin because they're both her precious friends.
She tells her feelings to make this girl back off from making her friend Bomi into being her doormat. She keeps trying to get Bomi to be honest and ask repeatedly if she truly meant liking Jinyoung and if Bomi's only doing it for her sake, she'd be pissed.
Sorry it's pretty late here but I hope my comment somewhat made sense. I still really like Seonhee's character and all.

@Kuroku2 mangadex should a comment liking feature, I liked your comment and I agree with you big time.
@Krimzonhawka Also it’s not really seonhee’s fault the girls that pressured bomi are at fault which caused the events to become messy.
But bomi’s reaction to the situation that made them worse and she also made it worse by lying (“deceiving”) to seonhee when seonhee tried to make things clear to her and that jinyoung unfortunately was there to hear.

@Kuroku2 @Areux Okay so very obviously it is really those girls fault for being two-faced beatches, everyone here can agree on that. But I don't understand how Seonhee's reaction was not at fault or wasn't the direct cause for putting pressure on Bomi to lie since she who had to be the one to defuse the situation now. Because what Seonhee did put Bomi on the spot with basically no good answer to solve it.
Because even if Bomi took Kuroku2's advice and didn't respond to those girls , if Bomi ever truly confessed to Jaemin in the future now the rumor mill about love triangles and conflict between friends was going to shoot throughout the entire school. Their friendship and presumed conflict over their mutual love would have been the spectacle of the entire school by that point with everyone getting out the popcorn waiting or ready to fuel some kind of drama, as was the case when those girls turned the whole conversation on to Bomi about how she would deal with Seonhee's sudden betrayal since she very obviously had never told Bomi beforehand thus catching her completely off guard.
And, I don't see how Seonhee was trying to get Bomi to be honest wit herself or tried to make things clear when Seonhee said she was lying about her feelings for Jaemin which Bom could see was obviously false by this point. How is Bomi supposed to come clean by then when Seonhee's doing exactly the same thing Bomi's being singled out for doing, lying to protect their friendship instead of being honest and open with each other. It's hypocritical of Seonhee to be angry in that case if she was going to backtrack as an attempt to smooth things over but demand honesty from Bomi right after.

@krimzonhawka To me, it feels like seonhee just did that because that’s just who she is. She didn’t think through it like you did. So, she most likely didn’t do it to put Bomi on the spot, even though Bomi might’ve felt that way. Honestly, everyone except for jinyoung shares some fault in this situation. Yeah, I think even jaemin is at fault for being so sure about his relationship with bomi when it wasn’t official.
@krimzonhawka
(Erm for the record, it wasn't my advice, Seonhee was the one who asserted that Bomi didn't have to respond to those girls.)
I feel it's irresponsible to say that everything that happened was Seonhee's fault. We all agreed that this was a direct result of those leeching girls. The problem lies in Bomi's personality.
Those girls wouldn't let up even after Bomi subtly hinted that she wasn't comfortable with being the in-between for that person and Seonhee interjects, insults them for being juvenile and that they could talk to him themselves. They then insult her and demanded why Seonhee wasn't being like Bomi who was, in their view, ok with it. Then Seonhee states she doesn't like them trying to make Bomi be their gopher because Seonhee liked Jaemin.
Bomi wasn't going to clear up anything because she's too nice. If Seonhee didn't go all aggressive, Bomi would've been co-erced to try to be matchmaker for Jaemin and that student. Bomi wouldn't say, 'well I like Jaemin' because she probably doesn't quite know her own feelings yet, hence "so soon?" And if she was honest and said "I'm not quite sure if I like him or not, I'm still sorting out my feelings on the matter," that's not something those girls will let slip by and they'll still insist on Bomi's help and maybe even gaslight her into thinking maybe those feelings aren't love or interest.
Seonhee isn't perfect, but she's clearly a dependable friend. She's not trying to hurt Bomi, she's been trying to defend her. She tells Bomi that she didn't have to answer to those girls anymore as she should and if the situation kept going probably she would've asked Bomi to leave with her.
I wouldn't even call it as dramatic as "betrayal". Up to this point we never even saw Bomi ask Seonhee if she liked him. It's very likely Seonhee just found it unnecessary to bring up and as I pointed out before, Seonhee seemed content with the two of them being together.
If it was true betrayal, Seonhee could've just kept her mouth shut and not even confront her friend and spend more time with Jaemin. Instead we see that she spends her time with Bomi, having lunch together, going home together, etc.
I wouldn't necessarily call it hypocritical either because Seonhee is happy with Bomi and Jaemin being happy. Bomi is trying to back off for Seonhee's sake but we see that Bomi's not really happy about the situation despite being all smiles, so it's different in terms of their feelings. Bomi isn't being true to herself whereas Seonhee only kept her interest in Jaemin private.
It's ok to keep information to yourself but it's not good to lie and say I'm okay with this when you're not. And that's pretty much my view of it, we can agree to disagree on that end.

@Kuroku2 I'm not saying this was intended as a betrayal on Seonhee's part, only that the fact that Seonhee made it PUBLIC for the those girls to gossip and spread it as if it was a betrayal to Bomi throughout the entire school later should Bomi decide to actually confess to Jaeme now. That public scrutiny is what I'm talking about on how Seonhee put Bomi on the spotlight. There was a number of alternative solutions Seonhee could have chose just as you list out all the things Bomi, could have done better like drag Bomi out of the restaurant , but she lost her temper and did the one thing that made the whole situation even more awkward. Being gas-lighted might have been bad for Bomi, but then being peppered with questions about how Bomi should respond to this "betrayal" (I'm putting it in quotation marks for a reason) by Seonhee from those girls and making it basically impossible to confess to Jaemin in the future without it being a public spectacle now about their friendship isn't much better from my point of view.
It's Seonhee's aggressiveness that is the problem here, it's the exact opposite extreme people are complaining about Bomi and I just want it acknowledged that it was as much to blame here and that it caused Bomi's own reaction because of the way Seonhee chose to do it. Seonhee didn't make it private, that's the problem. She made it a public spectacle for everyone which basically FORCED Bomi to choose in order to spare them both the scrutiny on their friendship once those girls turned the conversation back on her. And then as I stated before Seonhee wasn't being honest because once again she followed up that public declaration by outright back tracking and lying that she didn't really mean it, when the damage was already done and Bomi could see she was clearly lying now in turn. That last part is what makes it hypocritical because now Seonhee's not being honest either nor did she keep her interest/information private anymore. She aired the dirty laundry out so to speak for everyone to see, and then lied about it so I once again to Bomi who couldn't very well be honest in turn now. So I don't understand why we're having this disagreement in the first place since Seonhee is doing exactly what you said you have a problem with and yet seem to be sparing her equal blame for what happened.

@Krimzonhawka Look, you're misunderstanding me. In the first place my initial comment was that I like Seonhee and that I hope that Bomi would be honest with Jinyoung. That was it, point blank. Then you quoted me with a reply and so I'm inclined to answer. And thus we're having this back-and-forth and I even said we'll just agree to disagree.
Also you've misunderstood when I said Seonhee kept it in. I'm saying up to that point where those girls were pressuring Bomi, Seonhee never even mentioned that she liked Jaemin. She only let it out because those girls wouldn't let up and Bomi would've caved because she's sweet person.
Like I said, calling it a betrayal is a stretch and calling her an intentional hypocrite is a stretch.
Seonhee is happy with Bomi and Jaemin being together and she's honest to herself to begin with. Yes, Seonhee did tell her in private later that she lied, but that's to try to coax the truth out of Bomi who did that big announcement.
Bomi isn't dumb and could tell that Seonhee doesn't mean it, but she continues with her lie because she didn't want to choose between her crush and her friend. However, she isn't happy about her choice and it shows.
Bomi wasn't being true to herself. Even if Seonhee and Jaemin got together, she wouldn't be happy with it and would just act all smiles, that's the difference between her and Seonhee.
Seonhee isn't without faults, but I'm not saying that it's entirely all her fault because it really isn't. She didn't force Bomi to lie. She didn't force Bomi to seek out another guy. She wasn't being malicious when bringing up her feelings about Jaemin, which was, again, to ward off those girls who would've made Bomi do their bidding.
Quoting myself again, "it's ok to keep information to yourself but it's not good to lie and say I'm okay with this when you're not."
Seonhee's ok with her friends being together. Bomi wouldn't be, and Seonhee sees that.
At this point I'm just repeating the same points so I'm just going to back off here. We can agree to disagree.
