Everyone's acting like Jin's honour was besmirched. He got rejected, people. It happens everyday when you swipe left on tinder, super mundane and banal thing. It's not like Hanjoon crushed his soul and threw it in the trash. It wasn't the right time for them, it had to cook, now it be cookin' and I'm waiting to see what is served up. I'm sure it'll be delicious and will involve some buns and a couple sausages.

The more of these chapters that come out the more I like Hanjoon and how he handles negative situations and repercussions. He didn't throw a fit, and seems to understand where Jin's coming from for rejecting his advances now. Also Hanjoon's not being a dick to Jin in the workplace and is encouraging his career to flourish with or without his own involvement, which shows Hanjoon really does admire and respect Jin's work separately from the romantic feelings. This is so good so far I'm having lots of fun reading it!

These recent chapters just reinforce the idea that TJ is not healthy for Ian at all, being around him will just bring back all of this really intense baggage, and I fear that Ian will relapse into his addiction because of it. Also the thought that Ian would have been a scapegoat for the gang and went to prison over whatever it was that happened between them back then... I don't know, I just think it's a dynamic that is interesting to read about for sure, but not something I would wish to continue as a romantic relationship and that's the thing I don't see romance between TJ and Ian, it's more this brotherhood camaraderie thing that's super convoluted and complex because of the nature of their history together. TJ also thinks of Ian as his property in some scenes and it rubs me the wrong way like taking for granted that Ian will come back to him, and that he's given him enough time to run loose and fool around, now it's time for the nice leather couch to come back out of storage like a good little boy *shudders* just gives me the ick.

I could be wrong but I'm thinking something happened with Vercike in the past that has to do with tricking Cain or somehow seducing Cain and Agio found out and probably lost his mind and was about to destroy Vercike but perhaps Cain got in the way and died by Agio's hand instead. This is just a guess however and I'm really curious to find out what actually happened.

See I'm not sure about whether that's the version the church tells people because they're the ones who carry the 'sin' of the god of the moon's death, but curiously Ver hasn't mentioned anything like that yet. So I'm not sure if that's an actual thing or if it's a resentment from Agio that eventually becomes the church's doctrine. It's super interesting tho :3
Damn. Now that's a peach.
