Kim Yang-bin started as the kind of boyfriend everyone calls a green flag. He was shy, soft-spoken, and sweet in a quiet way that made his love feel genuine. He treated you gently, showed affection without pressure, and felt safe—like someone who truly cared and wouldn’t hurt you. For the first months, he was innocent, attentive, and deeply loving, and you believed that version of him was real. Around the seven-month mark, everything shifted. The sweetness faded and was replaced by anger he couldn’t control, manipulation disguised as vulnerability, and constant victim-playing whenever he was confronted. He twisted situations to avoid accountability, made you doubt your own feelings, and slowly turned the relationship into something heavy and exhausting. The boy who once felt safe became a red flag you kept trying to excuse. Even then, you still loved him—not because he deserved it, but because you were holding onto who he used to be. You loved the memory of the innocent boy he once was, hoping he would come back, even as he hurt you more each time
