I think they will end up together but if they went separate ways that would be great too.
A great way for Jiwon to grow up is to face his ex and his family and tell them all off and make them suffer and realized what a great person he has become even without their support.
If he stands up for himself in front of them that will empower him and make him more confident and proud of himself even if they turn out to be utterly garbage people without any remorse at least Jiwon can move on thinking that is a waste to suffer because of them they don't deserve his love and all the bitterness in his heart.
If Jiwon gets better that way then he probably someday will be ready commit in a true relationship.
But focusing on DG and chasing after him shouldn't be his focus right now.
I want them together, but I think their relationship is a bit past salvageable. IDK what development Jiwon would have to go through, but I'd for sure would hate it if he hit rock bottom and DG took pity on him, that's no development at all.
I also don't think taking revenge is very empowering, bc he punished them... then what? His issues won't suddenly vanish. We all wanted DG to take revenge, but I think it was much more dignified to have him realize his mistakes, apologize and try to move on. And the point here is to have Jiwon move on and become a better person.
If you're still bitter, then you haven't really moved on at all. Healed wounds don't hurt, y'know? You're only ever over something when you can honestly say you don't care.
That being said, if a confrontation with his family or ex does happen, I'd love for Jiwon to realize he honestly doesn't care. Exes get specially pissy at that ╮(￣▽￣)╭
My bet is that either the ex is going to have turned good and apologize to him, or he will see the ex and realize he feels nothing at all towards him and give up on resentment.
But what I'd also love to see is him realizing he doesn't have to be perfect and drop the mask he wears around his friends. If they like him, it's for who he is.
I actually don't want them to be in relationship at all. after all that Alex did to him, I don't think they should get together. but this is a yaoi cliche. so don't worry, they will end together even if I don't want too cause it will never be healthy.
I have conflicted feelings about them tbh. On one side, I want their happy ending, on the other, I think it's "spoiled".
Now a serious comment:
I loved DG's growth chapters. It's like the author took everything we complained about him and made him realize his mistake, apologize for it, and walk out of a toxic situation.
But now it looks like it's Jiwon's turn and omfg, yes, everyone wants him to realize what a jerk he was, but this is possibly going to be his growth chapters. He has shit to deal with that's unrelated to DG - namely, his family and his 'ex', so I'm expecting some heavy shit to come.
In the end, everyone just wants the same thing: for Jiwon and DG to be on the same page on a healthy relationship, but I'm scared tho, cuz I've seen a lot of manwas recently where, after a lot of shit, the couple ends up each going their own way, having "learned important life lessons from that one relationship".
