i’ve had a lot of people tell me that maybe sangwoo never really loved yoon bum and was sTrAiGhT but...
i’d like to believe otherwise. maybe it’s because i ship them so hard that i cannot simply accept that he’s straight and does not love bum. but here’s what i’ve got.
1. the reason why sangwoo spared bum was because he saw his mother in him and also because he loved him. but he did not ONLY keep bum in because of the mother part. his mother plays an important role in connecting both of the characters, but let’s not forget this,,
sangwoo wasn’t completely blinded by the fact that bum was a different personality. he loved bum for who he was, too, as only looks wise they were similar. they had a lot of differences in their personalities.
2. sangwoo in the end says that he’s not gay,, but i refuse to believe that either.Â
HE was the one who always made the first move- he kissed him first, and not to mention, even raped him. i get it, he was a rapist too but i don’t really think a typical straight guy would want to fuck a dude.
besides, let’s also not forget that in the story, the bartender says that sangwoo had been there a few times. THE GAY BAR. why would sangwoo go to a gay bar? think about it.
4. the fact that he wanted bum to win the game of cards so he would live instead really speaks a lot for itself.
at a lot of instances too, he says that he killed all of his victims because of bum. maybe it’s because he didn’t want a third person living with the two of them, too.
5. he fucking KILLED bums uncle aka his former abuser just for him. WHAT’S NOT CLICKING?
6. when he thought bum ran away, remember how panicked he was? because he didn’t want bum to leave. he said he was having a weird feeling inside of him (...love?) and that it would go away if he would just find him and kill him off. but when he saw bum back in his kitchen again...
7. sangwoo always kept his victims tied up with their legs bruised up in his basement, but it wasn’t that way with bum? he gave bum a lot of freedom because to him, bum was more than just an object. he got him new clothes, took him out to, ahem, dAtEs, helped him heal, bought him bandages, cooked him dinner, and what not. he also happened to spend a hell lot of money on him. i don’t think he would do so if he wasn’t really attached to him.
8. he left that party early just because bum was feeling uncomfortable.
9. he might act all hard on bum on the outside, but after he slit his wrists, his reaction just says a lot. he was afraid to lose him.
11. i honestly think koogi is just fucking with our heads lmao
maybe he was hesitant to go down on bum, but that was ONCE and that too UPSTAIRS IN THE SAME ROOM WHERE HIS MOTHERS DEAD BODY WAS. HE LITERALLY EVEN SAID THAT HE WASN’T COMFORTABLE HAVING SEX THERE.Â
(i can’t find the screenshot of him saying that lol- it was something like “it’s awkward doing it here” or something)
12. he was calling out for bum even on his death bed. who knows, his name might have been his last words too. again,, WHAT’S NOT CLICKING?
(hell, he even agreed to die with him together, i mean...)
13. ...and then there’s this.
i just don’t believe it.Â
sangwoo is a complicated guy. i don’t even think he has ever been through the phase where he had to think his sexuality through.Â
besides, i think he’s anything BUT straight. what kind of straight guy thinks of cracking someones skull open when looking at a pretty girl?
besides, he said it himself- he hasn’t killed a guy. ever. not since his fathers death. which shows that he kinda has a soft spot for men, instead.
most of his victims happened to be women who he never showed even the slightest mercy on. besides, you can’t just assume sangwoo is straight when he has never loved a women or had a girlfriend?Â
the only woman the ever loved was his mother, but that was the mother-son kind of love so it literally nothing to do with his sexuality.Â
sangwoo, according to me, is anything but straight.
besides, koogi loves having us assume things and leave us hanging on questions and cliffhangers so i guess this just happens to be one of them.
anywayysss, if any of y’all think otherwise, let me know lol but it’s just what i think it is. there’s too much that has happened between the two of them to just have one of them be straight.
