Chapter 53 is wonderful. How Jo intervene, he ate with that, get your man boo but also we finally saw Jo clashing with himself. He's concern for Ian but also it's a selfish act too he's jealous (yes it can be both, hence Jo internal struggle). But even if Jo tries to prevent, it back fire on him, he prevented their interaction, this was before Christmas and we know how that ended, Ian going back to tj. The correlation is so good, and it goes in with the setup that tj know Ian will always go back to him since he uses it to grip and take advantage of Ian, that's why he didn't bother them and walk the other way.
I wonder if one day the roles will switch. Where tj looses his grip on Ian and Ian goes to Jo.
*yes this is a repost I accidentally deleted my comment*

I feel like most reader do not care for Ian own feelings and his emotional turmoil. Jo stans need to realize it's hard to walk away from familiarity (even if it's bad). 19yrs is alot. Now tj stans need to realize it's not all about tj feelings. Saw a comment saying it be bad if Jo is endgame because all those 19yrs are down the drain for tj... excuse me? he had 19yrs to do something about his relationship with Ian, that's on him alone. Ian is not obligated to return anything for those 19yrs tj did all on his own.
And both sides need to stop slut shaming Ian. He not in any official relationship and both men know what they got into.

Ian feeling like it's a first time is so wonderful because he experiencing comfortable once more. Jo and Ian relationship is definitely slow pace and will take time esp for Ian to relaize but it be intriguing how both of them will influence each other since both are so different from one another and can experience new things the other hasn't.
Their relationship is slow pace while tj and Ian are heated (they already have 19ys) that's why many seem to think Jo and Ian aren't compatible it's because some readers want things fast but in situations like this smooth pace is important.

I don't know why some are shocked that others are team Joseph, season one heavily implied he closely being ML because of the many heartfelt moments between them and S2 began with Joseph pov of the first life. The author show Joseph a lot in the first half of the series you just can't expect people to not root for him. It's was never obvious that blonde boy was ML. Half the reader were hella suspicious of him.
And in the novel he turn back time for another reason which was changed in the manhwa hence why some readers were suspicious regardless because they only knew the novel reason.
Random but I would really love more of Ian pov chapters, let me see his thoughts. We need to know!!! It probably drive us less insane
