Kim and Mark have been friends for a long time. They've also worked together in a lot of lakorns, events and photoshoots. Naturally, that would allow them to get closer. When the line was leaked, Kim said that she and Mark are very good friends so they've always talked to each other in that sort of playful and jokingly flirtatious way. Seeing how Kim interacts with her other co-stars, I don't find that hard to believe at all. She's a naturally bubbly and playful person as is. Because it's with Mark, someone she's worked with and has known for so long, it would definitely be believable that their friendship is up to that level of comfort.
Therefore, I don't believe Kim cheated on Jett just because of that leaked line. I do believe it was her breakup that lead her to thinking Mark could possibly become more than just a friend. I personally know a close family member who's been through a similar situation like this. From an outside perspective, a lot of people just assumed she cheated on her ex. But because I'm close to her, I know she didn't. I'm not saying I know Kim personally, obviously. But from what I'm aware CAN happen in these types of situations and from what I've observed from both Kim and Mark, I believe Kim's innocent.
Also, let's not forget...it took quite a few months for MK to date. Some people might say they were just afraid to date so soon after the breakup, but I believe it took them this long because during the period of time when Kim and Jett broke up and Kim was still getting work with Mark, that was when she started realizing that Mark was the only one who's really made her happy all this time. Ironically, it's like their characters in TRRR. Bua was never interested in Kob romantically regardless of how close they were. Their parents knew they had so much potential to be a couple, but only they didn't (well, Bua didn't). That's like us as the public. We believed there was something more to their friendship because of what we saw, but there wasn't. And like in TRRR, it wasn't until the end that Bua realized she was happiest with Kob. Compare that to reality, it was just recently that Kim realized that Mark makes her the happiest.
Overall, MK's relationship is very complicated. At this point, there are many sides to the story. Fans, antis and neutrals will choose to believe what they want to believe. But the truth is that none of us KNOW the TRUTH. This is just what I believe to be the case. Not only out of my admiration for Kim as an actress and a person, but also out of my logical reasoning. I'm not even a hardcore MK shipper. I like them together, but I favor Kim with some of her other co-stars more. I'm also not a fan that wants them to date. Since they're already dating, I'll just wish the best for them. :yes:
Like Adsd said, I really care more about Kim. If they break up, I hope Kim will recover and bring herself back to the top as an actress, a public figure and a person.
People have opposed MK since their first lakorn together, whether it was as an onscreen couple or a real life couple. Regardless of if things had went differently and they were still dating, I don't believe the public would have reacted that much differently from how they're reacting now. Many people would still not be happy for them out of their own grudges. But that's okay, they have their hardcore fans to do that. :yes:
