Ok. Well, my original vote was that his tangent was real but then I got to thinking about how messed up his mind was from all the abuse and whatnot he’d gone Thru starting as a young child so I changed it to it’s not real he’s acting!. Taemins mind is all outta whack! I mean, jeez, what a messed up reality or in his case a dreamt up world he’s living. This whole story so far has me freaked out just thinking that some people actually act this way! It’s way scary to think about. Especially having my sweet baby Taemin portrayed as such a character literally had me in tears! It bothered me And trigger warning indeed! Had me remembering some similar I’d witnessed and gone Thru as a kid! Your story writing is excellent and the visual descriptions in the story described are so clear, bravo and kudos to you for this awesomely chilling story! I take off my hat and bow to your exquisite imaginative genius! Please update soon!

It could've been an act, while simultaneously being genuine. If I knew people knew I'm a manipulative psychopath, then I'd use that as an advantage. Meaning, I could share my genuine, unseen feelings with someone I made a "connection with" - but still mask it between my manipulative behavior. The other person wouldn't really know, they wouldn't really be sure which one it is.

Does that even make sense.

I dont think he’s a classical psychopath. He became that way bc of what he experienced, that broke him and something in him clicked. the small boy who was scared of his dad was normal and emotional. that boy is there but it buried very deeply inside of him...

i hope it is
