What if the person you're waiting for changed so much?

After 12 years of waiting for Dohae, Juyeong has many questions and concerns that need answers. They were separated on what should have been their most joyful, hopeful day—a day meant to bring them together but tore them apart, leaving each to wonder how that fateful moment might have shattered the other's life.While I understand Dohae’s desire to leave the past behind and move on as if nothing happened, I also see how essential it is for Juyeong to receive the explanation he deserves. Yet from this perspective, I can’t help but feel empathy for Dohae. A past haunts him, he’s desperate to escape, having grown up in a household where love and success came through relentless violence from his father. I understand why he’d want to avoid anything that brings back those painful memories; for some, moving forward and burying the past is easier than confronting it. I hope Dohae finds the peace he deserves. After everything he endured in his youth, he should be surrounded by people who love him genuinely. While this will require patience, I believe Juyeong will find the strength to reconnect and be there for him.At the same time, I hope Dohae realizes that Juyeong needs and deserves answers. I hope he comes to see that with Juyeong, he’s safe—that he can be vulnerable, and together, they can address the things he’s been running from. Only then can Juyeong love him the way he deserves and, in return, allow himself to love Juyeong fully too.
