Siyun is definitely the type to try and hide himself in your luggage the moment he finds out you have to go in a long term business trip, only to get caught by you in middle of him positioning himself in your bag.
That’s a cute image but seriously, don’t leave the dude alone. He has certified abandonment issues and would be a really clingy and touchy guy.

so i was right juhyeon is a victim of neglect and still is. i said it in the tags of my previous post, but siyun and juhyeon are two sides of the same coin. both have severe attachment issues because their parents couldn’t be bothered to foster emotional intelligence in either of them. the difference right now is siyun is on jeongmin’s side. i already find siyun’s attachment to jeongmin worrying because there are so many red flags, but another thing i can’t help to think about is what happens if jeongmin doesn’t want to be friends with siyun anymore? there’s no way he’s taking that well in his current state.

I read today chapter 99 of Dreaming Freedom and I posted a comment on webtoon but I want to expand it a little bit more here: Why is this webtoon labeled as romance?
I recently read some comments I wrote myself from about a year ago until now and I could appreciate the moment when I started to realize that maybe Siyun had no salvation or at least no future with Jeongmin.
At the beginning of the story, when the two meet, they have nothing to live for. They are in the worst moment of their lives and have no one to lean on, so it's only natural that they end up leaning on each other.
But as time goes by, when life starts to get better for both of them, the differences between the two begin to show. While Jeongmin decides not to be consumed by hatred, Siyun is driven by it. And he knows it, there are many moments where you can see how he struggles with himself not to cross the line that basically separated him from being the same kind of person as Juhyeon…. but in the end he crosses it and now he's much worse than she ever was.
And don't get me wrong, this is one of my favorite webtoons without a doubt and Jeongmin and Siyun's relationship is one of the best examples in fiction I've ever seen of how manipulation works in couples. Siyun is a perfect manipulator and has fooled even me (which I'm out of that relationship, I'm not an impressionable teenager and I'm quite perceptive), he's a superbly written character.
But that brings me to my initial question: why is it marked as romance?
If the intention from the very beginning was for Siyun to become who he has become, if it was to trick us into feeling at the end that Siyun has manipulated us too... why is it a romance? It should be a drama or a thriller.
Maybe marking it as thriller would have made Siyun's future very early in the story but the option to mark it as drama is there, drama doesn't exclude the romance aspect of the story and don't promise me any specific ending. If they end up together, it won't be a happy ending, not for Jeongmin. They have already entered into a full-fledged abusive relationship, there is no chance of a happy ending as a couple for both of them anymore.
And I'm one of those who think that a romance doesn't mean that the main couple has to end up together, but Siyun's behavior for a while now is not that of the protagonist of a romance.
