He was, and Bum fell ill, so to Sangwoo, Bum had passed this test, and was then kind to him and nursed him back to health - note - I say ‘kind’ however the preferred term may be ‘sympathised’, and you can read more about that in this post here.
Sangwoo knew Bum had done something to the food but he waited and had Bum eat it first to see if he was right. The next test was with the rat poison - although this can be debatably viewed as being the first official test - he wanted to see if Bum was capable of killing someone. At this point Sangwoo was testing Bum’s reactions against his blows while also knocking him down into this mindset of fear and complete obedience (which as we’ve seen from Bum’s flashbacks may not have been completely necessary since has always been such a timid boy, however that can be debatable seeing as how he shouted repetitive statements to the girl he used to stalk - Koogi writes Bum out so well by reminding us that Stalkers are indeed terrifying and unpredictable no matter how passive they may seem). This has also been analysed here in their post about Sangwoo’s superiority complex. Sangwoo wanted to test Bum and push him down into a state of submission in the same methods that his own father had used against he and his mother. In case you didn’t catch on, here are a few of the tests Sangwoo had laid out for Bum, skip to next part if you already know what they are: That was why he tested him so much at first. In fact, at this point it would have been absolute chaos if Bum had not done as Sangwoo expected and taken the girls life at least even hesitantly. Some people thought it was a test to see him NOT kill her however from what I can tell, Sangwoo definitely wanted Bum to kill Jieun. So I was asked by a friend why it was in chapter 19 that Sangwoo looked so surprised by Bum after he had killed Jieun.
This post basically explains Sangwoo and how he really loves surprises when it comes to Bum surpassing his expectations with certain things.Īlso, I didn’t intend for it to be this long I don’t usually do meta’s so if it’s just crap, you know why. I’m honestly just explaining what you probably already know and what other people have already explained in case you missed any of it.
