Season two, chapter sixty-seven
"Anger was
better than tears
better than grief
better than guilt""WHEN THINKING ABOUT LIFE, REMEMBER THIS: NO AMOUNT OF GUILT CAN CHANGE THE PAST AND NO AMOUNT OF ANXIETY CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE" That particular quotation left a significant imprint, surpassing the detrimental consequences of bullets. Nevertheless, Thea was simply hiding her emotions and authentic sentiments as a result of her previous traumatic encounters. She sincerely attempted to fill the emptiness within her heart, yet all she accomplished was inflicting self-harm in the course of her efforts. She would burden herself with stress prior to experiencing any actual stress, and this sense of frustration constricted her heart, leaving her breathless. If this was the current state of life, she no longer had the desire to continue living, nor did she long for anything else aside from eternal peace.
Nevertheless, unexpectedly he appeared, serving as a glimmer of hope in her despair, the individual who ignited within her a desire to embrace life's pleasures and face the unknown future with unwavering courage. It is undeniable that without encountering him, Thea would be uncertain of her current circumstances. Mun had been a source of assistance during her most trying times, standing by her side, attentively lending an ear to her troubles, and offering solace without any hint of judgment. But now, in this precise moment of his need, what was her role?
Mun seldom revealed his susceptible aspect, having acquired the ability to endure his feelings throughout the years. Nevertheless, despite his efforts to suppress them, Thea was cognizant of the hidden agony he carried and the facade he presented daily. While others failed to perceive the extent of his suffering, Thea had the ability to see through him effortlessly, as if he were as transparent as a glass of water.
Thea felt overwhelming frustration due to the realization of the multitude of emotions these events had stirred within Mun. This frustration may have stemmed from his inability to display any signs of being affected by them or perhaps from his lack of confidence to confide in her. Nevertheless, she acknowledged the irony of complaining when she was engaged in similar behavior.
What actions should she take? What response was expected from her?
At times, Thea would experience a sense of unworthiness of having someone like Mun by her side; he deserved someone who could properly attend to his needs, adore him, and provide comfort. Nonetheless, all Thea did as his girlfriend was suppress her feelings and keep distancing herself from him. If she couldn't even prioritize her own well-being, how was she expected to fulfill her role of caring for and loving him?
"This feels strange" Ms. Chu started speaking from the seat next to the driver, her voice carrying a slight undertone of sadness "I know we have to summon Ju-seok, but I just can't bear to face him while he's possessed" Possibly experiencing great frustration, she released an extended sigh indicating exhaustion "I can't imagine how Mun must be feeling right now"
