@VMIN1995 @ others that dislike bomi, are we reading the same manhwa? i don't think seonhee's feelings were too obvious if you consider it from bomi's perspective. i don't think bomi has some third perspective like readers do when it comes to her friends' feelings.
they're all just kids. it's not like they necessarily know how to identify these emotions (genuinely liking someone, jealousy, wanting to be comforted, etc.). the whole point of this story is their growth through high school, so bomi and other characters can only grow from here on out. bomi realised that her intial crush on jaemin didn't compare to her crush on jinyoung, and i think both crushes were valid.
bomi didn't drag jinyoung into this situation on purpose. bomi's not even at fault for all of this. gyuri pressured bomi into this whole situation by probing bomi about her love life, getting jinyoung and her alone in the art room, separatinng her from seonhee, etc. it's difficult to deal with pushy/nosy people like gyuri when you just wanna stay in your lane. why blame bomi when bomi's just trying to be patient with her friends? bomi messed up by not speaking up, but it's pretty difficult to come out with all these things when you don't know how your friends will react. it could make or break your whole high school experience (getting isolated, ignored, etc.) because obviously characters like gyuri can be judgemental and spin the situation on you.
rather than call bomi dumb, generic, bland, selfish, etc., why don't we encourage and anticipate their character growth
i love bomi and the others so much
