Why is everybody acting like they've never been in relationships? (or 'situationships' at least). Removing the fact that J.J. r-worded Leo (because why is that even a troupe in BL), this is the most realistic depiction of a falling out. Everybody is talking about how "all they lack is communication" but sometimes it's beyond that.
If you have been a 'JJ' in a relationship before, you know how desperate you'll sound if you keep explaining yourself to a partner who cannot take a hint about how they're hurting your feelings. If it is a repetitive over and over again of not being seen, not being heard, you'll start to feel miserable. And because you love the person, you hold out for as long as you can, and one day you wake up realizing, 'oh I don't need to tolerate this shit'. And I think that's what the author is trying to depict here with JJ. Right now we're seeing the selfish side of JJ because he's tolerated so much of Leo's selfishness in the past. He's putting himself first this time around.
"But Leo's just dumb, sometimes you have to explain how they're hurting you!" SON. Just don't. Leo's just now realizing how much he's neglected JJ. The fact he never knew why JJ dumped him means he never really reflected much on their relationship in the first place.
Anyway, they're both a mess and just have fun reading this without reading too much into it, it's fiction bro. And the author is amazing. Support them if you can.
