That’s why I hope TJ leaves the gang world. Cause Ian doesn’t want that, and he also wants to be with TJ exclusively but TJ is vague with their relationship label, causing them to just have sex, friends, but I’m sure Ian wants more. How long can Ian wait?
That would be ideal, but realistically Tj can't leave it. He's kinda second in charge right now and maybe he could leave only if someone he trusts takes his place, otherwise he'll be killed as soon as he set foot outside of his door.
Ian has waited 19 years and maybe he got tired of playing this game of push and pull. He wants a new life, free from violence and to achieve it he needs to truly turn over a new leaf.
They say that to move ahead in life you need to leave behind what pulls you down, so we will see how Ian will respond to all this situation bcs as soon as Tj got into that accident with the truck he promised to kill all those who were after Tj. Maybe he will be pulled back into the gang world again. I have too many theories eheh
I think Ian has always been tired of the gang life and he’s tired of waiting too. TJ CAN leave if he tries, but he isn’t focused on leaving, he’s focused on staying meanwhile Ian is focused on wanting to leave but is attached to TJ. TJ thinks being a gang leader can protect Ian but he’s not really thinking about what Ian wants.
Ian definitely will be pulled into the gang world, actually he still is in the gang world, I think it’s Jo who will put himself in the gang world or be pulled in just to protect Ian (especially also cause David mentioned Jo).
Ian needed someone to depend on and once Tj was there, he never pushed him back even when things were too much bcs he loved him, yes, but also bcs he is extremely lonely. His only family died in prison after he called the cops and deep down he thinks that he's guilty of her death.
Also he got abandoned by everyone he thought he was close to in the time when he needed the most support and care.
Ian tried to love again and followed the one he loved down a path that slowly was turning him into a monster. He suffered a lot, I hope he will truly find peace and happiness one day.
So after this short analysis on my baby boy, I want to say that im kinda curious what is the meaning behind Tj going no contact with Ian. In the earlier chapthers we saw how much Tj wanted to bring Ian back into hell once again, so I'll patiently wait ^^
