after a few seconds of reflection, i think i personally do not like this LOL i like it a lot better when the endgame path is way more clear and obvious TT
Idk about preference romance wise but it’s more of codependency and trauma with guilt, but they’re also family.
i totally agree lmfoaoaoa this just makes it stressful to SOME readers, not saying its bad tho
ian needs to solve his issues to break the cycle between him and tj and it's not easy. yes, for now tj is ian's choice given their long history, the codependency, years of gaslighting and manipulation, the trauma bond... but joian is slowburn. that's why there is a lot of symbolism around them foreshadowing a future together. they just need time, and readers need patience. that's how i see it.
hmm idk how to feel, i like when there push and pull in love triangles, where i feel like either sides can be the winner yet its so obvious youngwoo prefers TJ but the narrative points to Jo
not sure if its my cup of tea at all i prefer a lot when the narrative points clearly at someone and so does the protagonist, it surely makes it a lot less stressful for me as a reader TT
