He really born to suffering i guess, but Jian is actually strong character despite tragic setting, i hope we can see he fight back later on, i mean he has his own plan that yet revealed! Trust the author
And for Jitae, i think he only piss at Jian for drag Mieum into this mess, beside that, Jitae seem to have a tiny little bit empathy for Jian(?)
Not sure their can be good brother after all this mess tho
Jian and Jitae never hurt each other tbh. They just pissing each other off as normal siblings did. Jian hates Mi-eum because his dad kidnapped Jitae when he was young. And to fall in love with kidnapper's son? Ofc he would be mad. I can see he's always trying to protect Jitae (some readers even ship JianXJitae eww incest) and as for Jitae, it's clearly he knew Jian cares for him as older brother since he mocking suryeon about Jian care about him as bro but not suryeon his mom (latest ch). Lol.
I think Jitae is talking about Mi-eum, not Ji-an. He doesn’t even want to call Ji-an his hyung. Jitae only cares about Mi-eum at the moment, which is fair since Mi-eum is the only one who cared for him as family during their rough times.
As for Ji-an, he does care about Jitae, but it’s more limited compared to Mi-eum. Ji-an is unable to care for Jitae freely because of his crazy mother. Still, maybe Jitae can sense Ji-an’s love for him, but since they’re not real brothers anyway, at most, he might feel some sympathy. Just kidding—Jitae is totally Mi-eum-brainrotted now lol. I don’t think he care that much about Jian…
Ugh, I love Ji-an and Jitae’s brotherhood, so it would be nice if they became close someday, but it’s unlikely.
I want to take away Jian from all these selfish ppl. He deserves to be happy. He protected Mi-eum because he knew his brother loved Mi-eum. Only get to know he and Jitae actually not blood related? He thought Jitae is his only family left since his mom is totally a monster. But now knowing Jitae's dad wasn't his dad but some other guy? Omg do you have to make Jian as punching bag in this story? I stan for Jian's happiness...
