but i also kind of feel like you can’t really compare jaekyung to jiwon. yes, jiwon was an absolute asshat but jaekyung is just straight up psychotic i also think that compared to bj alex, although jiwon was rude, he still had a certain amount of respect towards DG (it’s been awhile since i read it, so i could be wrong), while jaekyung straight up sees dan as some kind of sex slave. i feel like jaekyungs birthday was the prime example of that. if we were to compare that to early-chapters-jiwon, i feel like he maybe would’ve been a bit riled up, saying something like „why the hell would you do that?“ but ultimately after seeing DG‘s put-in effort, he’d reluctantly accept his gift. compared to jaekyung..well..we all saw what happened. also this isn’t me disagreeing with you, i also genuinely don’t believe in jaekyungs redemption. no amount of trauma justifies whatever the fuck he’s doing. especially not after exposing dan like that to heesung, that really put the nail in the coffin for me.
anyways, sorry for the ramble!
theres genuinely no way to redeem jaekyung, hes very toxic like the rape is not ok, but i did say that about jiwon from bj alex....
I remember comparing the last final chapters jiwon to first few chapter jiwon and omg i was like "WHY ARE YOU NICE NOW?"
