oh they're not ready to hear that all like they couldn't grasp the fact that Leo can go hangout with others easily with automatic yes but when it comes to JJ, he needs to be wary of other people to recognize him
Honestly, I’m on neither side. Sometimes it takes losing someone to realize you love them, and people change based off of the experiences they’ve gone through. I don’t think either of them are ‘bad’ people. Leo’s about to get a harsh life lesson, but that will hopefully be what makes him grow. As for J.J., I can’t tell if he’ll learn to communicate more or not, but I hope he learned stuff as well: such as to not put up with being treated poorly, and conflict resolution. He didn’t have to just leave either, he could’ve tried to tell Leo straight out specifically what he wasn’t okay with. I’m glad he left the relationship, but in the future, I hope he comes to understand how to approach someone when they’re treating him like that.
It’s not that he should have stayed longer and tried harder. It’s 100% that JJ knows Leo is the type of person who needs to be overly explicitly told things but JJ didn’t have the patience or understanding needed to actually express those things to Leo and instead chose to just be an asshole about it. It’s fine if JJ doesn’t have the patience needed to be in a relationship with someone who thinks like Leo, not everyone does. However, if JJ wasn’t going to at the very least explain to Leo why he was leaving then as the bare minimum for behaving like a decent human being JJ should not have fucked Leo on a warehouse floor like he was raping Leo and then proceed to leave Leo there bruised and naked. JJ isn’t getting hate for standing up for himself and leaving a relationship that wasn’t good for him. He’s getting hate because of HOW he’s leaving the relationship and how he’s treating Leo. If JJ wanted to leave without having a decent breakup conversation then he should have just left with a clean break instead of emotionally, and basically physically, abusing Leo while doing it.
Oh it made me so mad lol And others saying how Leo is obviously dense and JJ should have been clearer. Like...they have been dating for YEARS, and everyone around them were wondering, even on Leo's own face, how JJ put up with him, but he never cared to reflect back on it. I'm sure JJ must have tried to talk to him (is just that manhwa starts at the end of their relationship) but Leo must have apologized half-heartedly just to fall back again, or must have put the blame on JJ just as he did when they broke up, or Leo didn't care at all, just like when JJ tells him how he told him he was moving out a whole week before and Leo couldn't bother himself to pay the minimum attention to his boyfriend.
Leo is not a bad person, just a self-centered person. I just hope he starts to change and realizes he can't be in a relationship when he only cares about himself.

I'm not saying you are wrong. Just that when you put up with shit for years, and when you talk you are ignored, you wake up one day and decide that's it.
JJ could have given closure to the relationship, yes. But I think it's okay not to when the relationship is just like theirs, and not for months, I'm talking about years.
As someone who was a fool in a relationship of three years, knowing the other person didn't care that much, I do understand JJ's reasoning of not giving closure. I did wake up one day, talk to the other person, realized once again they didn't care and chose to go no contact, yeah, suddenly, like that. And you know what? They never bothered to reach out.
It's obvious, though, Leo does care. He did contact. He just had the whole wrong mindset about it, thinking that what he needs is JJ's dick and not his presence in his life, so big L for him on that.
I think I'd have spat on the person I was in a relationship with if they reached out to me just to fuck, not to even apologize for all those years.
I said I don't defend JJ for what he did to Leo in the warehouse though I do have my own opinion on their mindsets. Important word here: Mindsets. Not on their actions.
Lmao, why is everyone hating on JJ? I won't defend him for what he did in the warehouse, but damn, you must be freaking crazy if you think anyone can treat their partner like shit and said partner will stay there. JJ did, in fact, stay, for years, treated like an accessory, but he must have held in there because he did love Leo.
And don't come talk shit about how he should have been more communicative. Hell, you see how Leo never cared. JJ told him stuff, and he never bothered to remember. Even in this chapter you see how JJ asked to go on a trip together but giving him time and attention wasn't on Leo's schedule. Even in ch 1, Leo was angry at JJ for choosing to leave their apartment but JJ did, in fact, tell him about it, he just didn't care. And when your partner doesn't care, and when your problems and ideas become troublesome for them, maybe because you want to stay with them you start to speak up less, because you grow tired of being ignored even when you do talk.
You just realize one day that where you are with that person you love, is not good for you, and you decide /you/ are more important than the love you have for them.
