This is the perfect Sangwoo reaction, tbh. It is a textbook reaction. Emotional abuse obviously stunts emotional growth, and for Sangwoo a lot of the stunting was centred around love. So, it makes perfect sense that he wouldn’t really be capable of processing something like this without either freaking out or getting angry. When people can’t understand something it makes them afraid. It makes them angry. It’s almost a reflex. Like someone who can’t take a compliment blushing in response to one. They just can’t process the words they’re being told. Bum has basically just told Sangwoo he will be with him forever. To a man who is so desperate not to be alone, but is so sure he will be, those words must be incomprehensible.
Couple Rings. Last I checked, it’s pretty common for korean couples to buy each other rings to signify that they’re in a relationship. And now that Sangwoo and Bum are “married” it would make sense that Bum would want some object to represent that bond.
We have a couple hints to Bum purchasing this gift.
Chapter 57, Bum looked at her hand, but besides noticing the bruises look what else is in focus.
A ring.
In the past Bum had also tried to give his first love a ring,
But we all know how that had turned out. But this time, things are different. This time he’s with Sangwoo.
Now what about the time constraint? I think Bum wants to give the ring to Sangwoo on his own birthday (which is why his birthday is spoiler). Bum isn’t someone who likely celebrated his birthday a lot, but turning his birthday into a day to celebrate their relationship is something I can see Bum doing. I can see him wanting to turn this day into a celebration of their bond.
Bum has already given his death to Sangwoo, why wouldn’t Bum give the day of his birth to him as well?
I can’t believe Sangwoo was gonna kill this girl, and she went, “Bum only stays with you because you’re an abusive prick and he’s scared to run away,” and Sangwoo just stood there wigless.
