This is 100% how I feel. It’s definitely giving off BJ Alex vibes. He’s basically just realizing that he needs Dan in order to get off, and that’s it. I hate it because it just feels like that will always be the underlying reason for him to want Dan back, and then he’ll just settle for him instead of growing genuine feelings.
I had high hopes for the redemption arc, but I guess we will see.
To be honest in the early days of jinx when it was not even that awful I went to reread Bj Alex because I genuinely couldn’t remember what his « redemption arc » was and I knew from then on to keep my hopes down cuz as much as I wish it to come it’s more probable that it won’t…
I do hope that jaekyung will HAVE a character development but let’s be real it’s the author who wrote Alex being forgivenhis abuse and R*** by standing under the rain… also rn he is only sexually frustrated and facing the consequences of an unattended injury, most of it isn’t even related to guilt toward Dan, I really hate to say it but we should really don’t expect much…
