I didn't realize that other people read my comments. I don't read other people's comments so I never thought that other people would read my comments. I really appreciated your thoughts on my comments. And because you commented on my comment, be prepared for another rambling session....
Yeah, you're right Hae is more of an open book so it's easier for Hyuk to read him, but just because Hyuk is a little more careful that doesn't mean that Hae shouldn't be able to understand someone he's been best friends with for over 10 years. I'm not saying that Hae has to know exactly what Hyuk is thinking or anything but I wish Hae would be a little more clued in to how Hyuk feels. My best friend isn't always open with her feelings, but that doesn't mean I can't read her or know what she's feeling. I'm sure I'm being too harsh on Hae, but I can't help it sometimes because he just doesn't seem to be tuned into how other people are really feeling. I know this is a fictional story but it does make me think of the real life story that Teuk and Hyuk told on Strong Heart when Teuk got mad because Hae was pouring water on his face when Teuk was sleeping during a break and Hae couldn't tell that Teuk was really getting upset and he couldn't read the situation so he kept on pouring water on Teuk until he exploded. And sometimes parts of this story makes me think of that real life story where Hae is oblivious of his surroundings. So I guess Gem is writing Hae's character pretty much dead on to his real character - ha ha!
Hae did feel awkward at the elevators and he knew that Hyuk felt awkward too so he was able to read that situation, and he doesn't talk about Andy for Hyuk's sake, but that's not my problem. I guess I was hoping that he would know Hyuk better than to think that Hyuk doesn't care anymore. I guess I was hoping that Hae is a mind-reader and would know that Hyuk doesn't actually feel that way even though that's the way Hyuk tries to act. I know it's ridiculous and unfair of me to want Hae to read Hyuk's mind, but it's how I felt when I read the story.
I don't know why Hyuk had to give Hae a reason to explain the rings. If Hae wanted to explain it, he could have brought it up himself. I guess that's what bugged me. He makes it seem that there was no way to explain the rings unless Hyuk brings it up first.
I agree that Hae grew up a lot since the start of the story and I even said so in previous comments, and I think he'll mature even more. And don't get me wrong, I don't think Hae is hurting Hyuk purposely or intentionally. And you're probably right that Hyuk loves Hae for all of the things that I just complained about and he probably wouldn't love Hae if he were too similar to himself.
But all in all, yes, I probably am being too harsh with Hae and I should give him a break, but I can't promise anything, it'll depend on how Gem writes the next chapter and what she'll make Hae do.
I think my reply to your comment is longer than my original comment!
