I actually think it will be jake first. He'll probably end up taking a bullet for shin somehow and thinking he is about to die He'll say it in the most nonchalant way possible before passing out.
It can also be the other way around. Where shin takes a bullet for Jake and it solidifies Jake's trust in shin and Jake blurts Out something like youcant die on me now that I love you. Or some shit like that.
Oooooooor it can be in the most mundane way, while they are sitting down and he reads the horoscope and says someone close to you will tell you they love you very soon and shin asks him is it mine or yours? And he says I love you. And then goes back to the horoscope and says 'But the horoscope was mine and shin laughs and tells him he loves him.
Aaaahhhhhhhhh my imagination has no limits. So many ways to say it
I’ve really been enjoying this domestic life they have going on recently. Personally, chapter 73 really shows that they are in love to me. Something about them having a mundane routine just sold it for me. They don’t have to explicitly say “I love you” for them to be in love, but at this stage in the story it’s definitely more than just attraction.
I am curious how they would even go about saying “I love you” to each other cause both Shin and Jay are so brash I can’t picture them saying it. Well, maybe Shin cause he has said some pretty romantic things already.
