first couple’s story feels incomplete

i feel like the first couple’s story is kinda incomplete. it looked like suk-yin had depression (messy apartment and eyebags) and an unhealthy relationship with his work, riddled with anxiety and perfectionism. and then him and woo-in just get together and shag a few times and it’s mostly solved with a single line? (when woo-in said he saw suk-yin as perfect by his standards, not anyone else’s). i want to see them both developing more and actually see suk-yin getting over the way he attaches his self-worth to his work. it’s hinted when they have a spontaneous and unplanned day on the trip and when he takes his wristwatch off, but it still feels incomplete imo. the trauma and problems still exist and i want to see them acknowledged more and see them setting healthy boundaries. i know irl it’s hard to have a clean resolution but the first couple sailed a little too smoothly after getting back together ://// i hope their story gets a continuation after this arc

    right! idk if it's common, but in most BL i've read where there's more than one couple, the author invests more in the supporting couples (and they eventually take the spotlight, which kinda defeats the original premise )

    i'm manifesting a continuation for the 1st couple, in solidarity with you!!!
