A very consistent theme all throughout wolf in the house has been the difference between love and possession.
If you love them let them go, self-sacrifice and strength. miilena and bexan, bexan and minsuk, ein and leto.
and then the cruelty of selfish desire, of entitlement to your claim. milena and pei, leto and yanek, minsuk and his ex-boyfriend.

it's a take that's really irked me too lol... all i think is that leto was only ever worth anything to yanek as a dog on a leash. ein was the one to truly set him free and never expect anything in return not even loyalty. park jiyeon did an incredible job illustrating both ein and leto's inner conflicts and insecurities. dismissing their relationship as the product of "disloyalty" is a very sad bastardisation of such a tender story.

even as jooin chastises himself, he's putting in an uncharacteristic amount of effort into taking care of yugyeom. cooking, cleaning, lingering on his thoughts instead of defaulting to his lackadaisical, water off a duck's back attitude. all things that he neither does for himself nor could be bothered to do for his old partners. paired with the monologue it's such a sweet and subtle way of showcasing jooin's steadily growing feelings for yugyeom.
both character's experience a heightened sense of empathy around one another, it's such a romantic way of tethering them over just the usual cycle of plain sex and misunderstandings. theres so much effort put into this writing i love it so much.
forcing myself to become a jo-lover so the inevitable tj-second-male-lead-syndrome conclusion doesn't make me kms
Hahah real but bro in dear door i really really loved Cain still i couldnt go on because the friend was yearning so for the mc couldnt continue with this too bc my love for second male leads is a little too extremeee
