"Your sense of debt has long since become a insurance policy for me"
Idk how yall read chapter 56 and think tj and Ian are meant to be when it indicates and shows how doomed their relationship, mainly due to tj. Please this isn't cute and he didn't necessarily did this for Ian he mainly did all this for himself.
-
OH WAIT!! Tj says that quote and after, it follows the scene of him getting the scar. Which he was there to kill Jang not save Ian (he didn't know Ian was there) but Ian believes tj was there to save him which is not the case and tj let him believe that and that's where Ian debt (guilt?) may have started.
Knew once ch59 release many would start blaming Ian and making it about tj as if tj didn't take advantage of this situation.
Also ridiculous some have the mindset that a undamaged person (Jo) can't be important to (or be with) someone who is damaged. I didn't know you had be damaged to be able to sympathetize with someone troubles and still be willing to be with them regardless.
Yall keep saying Jo too nice as if it's a bad thing. Like are we forgetting how headstrong and resilient he is? Even with his own moral conflictions. Jo has his own flaws and he still can go on par with Ian as well.
I disagree! I think Jo is very demaged! He got obsessed with Ian over night. That’s not normal at all! It’s okay to have a crush but to go as far as him, that’s not healthy! And that for me is what doesn’t make sense in the story. Ian and TJ have a back story as to explain their behaviour. Jo was supposed to be born and raised in a healthy environment.
Yes! 1000% Jo's general "innocence" to the trauma Ian has experienced is not something that negates his ability to love and appreciate Ian. Just cause he didn't go through TJ and Ian hell doesn't mean he doesn't have strength and resilience. People end up creating an imaginary unbalanced relationship between Jo and Ian because they don't see Jo as a person who’s lived his own life and dealt with his own shit. These experiences are not mutually exclusive but ppl act like they are. But yeah anyway TJ is a bitch regardless of what Ian did or didn't do.
Yes absolutely and you said this so well and much better than me, it was hard to put it into words but I'm glad someone understood what I mean. They always try make Jo and Ian relationship seem unbalanced when it's actually more equal in terms compared to tj.
