I feel like their relationship is a little awkward, I dunno

It’s Jaein to be honest, even in later side stories, it even feels that way towards Jaeyoon, his own baby he birthed and even the baby was picking up on the vibe. But I can’t blame him, he has a lot of trauma that I felt wasn’t properly resolved even with his bastard ex being put away. Like he needs therapy to be honest and given the fact he’s a mafia boss, he’s built a wall that’s hard to break down tbh. But later in the upcoming side stories, he really does love Taeyoon, and his little family, it’s just hard for him to show it.

I’m totally agree with you
