[ it isn't like Hwi is a cruel person. he has done cruel things, cold things - things that have put Seonho in danger, as much as he has also done things to protect him during the past few years. and no matter how much the relationship between them had changed from 'best friends' to whatever identifier could be placed on it, now...
he had never stopped caring about him, and genuinely wishing the best for him. deep in his heart, he believes Seonho wants the same thing, that he still cares just as much as he always had in his own way. even if he didn't agree with his reasons or motivations, the cold and cruel things Seonho had done to him could be forgiven, because they were also done... in part... to protect him or Yeon.
he wants to be able to say he forgives him. he wants to be able to nudge his shoulder and smile and laugh it off. maybe one day when everything is long behind them and Yeon is well and truly safe, they'll get that chance.
but today isn't that day. ]
Then, maybe that is why you are here.
[ he cannot extend a whole-hearted forgiveness and wipe the slate clean. but... ]
