I think perhaps with how it's going with JK ignoring his injuries and not treating as he should, I think his career ending earlier than he would like would be something that could happen.
What I think should happen is JK gets really injured, loses a fight and while he doesn't want his career to end, news makes it seem that he has. And while this is happening Dan's still gone, or someone else is pursuing him and Dan's kinda sticking to them. Or maybe Dan grows some balls and just leaves lol.
At that point JK would perhaps realize how little he has, and while trying get Dan back realize how big of a dick he's been.
Though honestly? I wish (becuase this won't happen, it's fucking mingwa and the whole genre really to blame) that Dan would just leave and maybe start living a better life and JK fucks off too, don't care if he gets hurt. Their chemistry is shit, mostly because JK being an ass but also Dan's been written like a soggy piece of toast, sad, miserable and no back bone.
Sorry I posted before I added this-
Honestly an ending where they leave eachother alone and live separate better lives would be a more satisfying ending than whatever mingwas got cooking up.
It really is gonna take a miracle to save this story I think, the writing just isn't good, perhaps rushed or mingwas just lazy with plot points
I don't even want his career ending bc of injuries, i want to see his ego and masculinity destroyed, i want to dismantle his entire world view, i want him changed in the eyes of the public forever. But you're right, it would take a miracle at this point to save the story. It's obvi not gonna end with JK and Dan seperating for good, and i highly doubt the author would put the big alpha top's masculinity in danger. I didn't expect much from this story from the start, but i somehow got invested and now i need to see retribution. I can at least dream
Honestly the biggest reasons why I hate this manwha and get so mad about it is
1. The art is AMAZING, mingwa is very talented, and it is such a shame she writes such bullshit. If she created a thought out and written story that wasn't toxic romantion bs than I would be over the moon.
2. Becuase mingwa is so popular, her works can and have set trends in the BL genre, and I hate that. I don't want more toxic shit like this
3. People read stuff like and it really can fuck with their brains and perceptions. I worry about the normalization and romantizition of toxic relationships and rape. Not that people would like seek out this stuff, but wouldn't have the appropriate reactions to it, aka brush it off, not treat it as seriously as they should and such
I need some seriously bad things to happen to JK. I don't just want blood, i want some serious emotional and career ending damage. I need him to feel every bit of pain that he has put Dan through. He needs some humbling QUICK and not just needing to take a little break from boxing and losing his little plaything i want some REAL bad stuff to happen to him. I'm usually mildly entertained by toxic situations, it's truly not that serious, but this guy makes me so mad i need to see REVENGE enacted it would be so satisfying. But I didn't like how BJ alex got "redeemed" so i'm prolly not gonna like this
