Bro I will be so unbelievably disappointed if the endgame is Jo like I’m sorry Tj loves Ian so much, there’s genuinely nothing Jo could do to outdo Tj’s love for Ian at this point. Like I get the complexity of Ian and TJs relationship but I firmly believe Ian will NEVER be able to love Jo as deeply as he loves TJ. The only way it would make sense is if TJ died & Ian was forced to pick Jo.

I’m sorry yall but Jo is mad weird for doing what he did in ch 52. Fucking Ian after he passed out and nutting on his face then trying to act all sweet next chapter? Bffr. We know Ian is a little slutty but the smut with him & Jo lowk rubs me the wrong way sometimes idk. Jo doesn’t know Ian well enough to treat him the way he does during sex. Whereas TJ & Ian have known each other pretty much their whole lives so it makes sense they’d b a little more rough/test each others boundaries. I just don’t trust Jo lowk…he puts on this sweet boy act but there’s def something under the surface

Jo never put on a sweet boy act, If he's sweet its because he is, like cooking and fixing house appliances for Ian. But an act? No. Even he told Ian he's not innocent and Ian took notice of it as well. Both know there's something deeper than that and both don't realize how dark it can get. There's no huge ulterior motive most of yall are trying to paint him as.

Agreed. Nothing about his character has said anything about him faking being nice. Like, y’all know that nice people just exist, right? Also, ofc you’d want to be extra nice to the person you’re smitten with… now, I’m skeeved about the whole facial thing too, but I think both him making a bad dubcon decision and him having a kind personality can exist simultaneously.

Yesss agreeing SOOO much on the last line. Two things can coexist simultaneously but most readers thinks is black vs white. It's more like the ying yang here, there can be good in bad and bad in good. Jo can have conflictions but also be kind at the same time. An example is in this chapter too, after the dubious decision Jo did aftercare for Ian.

Neither of y’all understand what I was really saying. I’m not saying Jo is some evil villian with ulterior motives, but that his character is capable of being darker than people realize. I think that he has another dark side to him that is more similar to TJ then were being led to believe and I think that’s the twist. My literal point is that there are two things existing at once within him but we’ve only ever seen his “sweet side” up until that chapter. I think it’s a preview of the other side of him.

His intentions were fake from the very beginning. He told Ian he wanted to just be friends but it was obviously a lie, and cmiiw but he said himself that he's not as nice as ian thinks and that his feeling are not pure and are dangerous, he realized he was getting obsessive and possessive over Ian. Like this chapter is literally showing him meddling in something that does not concern him and also keeping that bandage longer just to gain pity points from Ian so that he could feel guilty how is he not putting on an act?

Clock it. People so badly want to paint this as good guy vs bad guy and TJ is the bad guy Jo is the good guy but it’s more complicated than that. No one is really “good or bad” in this story, their motives are all so complicated and their actions are all somewhat self-motivated, but I think Ian and TJ’s relationship is the most selfless. They’ve loved each other for so long, TJ literally left town to keep Ian safe and Ian said he’d kill the entire gang for TJ. They’re devoted to each other beyond the physical shit & there’s just not enough history between Jo and Ian for them to be there yet if ever.

His intentions were never fake, he did want be friends then after caught feelings. He then said they can be just (aka try be) friends because Ian doesn't want a relationship. Jo and Ian know Jo has feelings. How is that even fake intentions when Ian himself know Jo has a crush on him when Jo told him lol the rest of your comment has no point.

Yk what, as time goes by Jo is starting to grow on me. I think he makes for a very compelling story and serves as a good foil to Ian and TJs relationship. I’m team TJ forever though. It’s obvious TJ and Ian are in love with each other, even if it is a little codependent. However, because of the homophobia of the gang (TJ worried because he’s the leader and being with a man is considered taboo), plus the fact that they’ve never been taught how to communicate their emotions in a healthy way, they don’t know how to love each other properly. Y’all have to remember that as they were growing up, being with a man was seen as wrong and not normal and they were expected to be with women. There’s the guilt from how deeply they love each other, combined with their messy history so of course they don’t know how to just be together in a healthy way. That doesn’t mean they don’t love each other. I think in some ways, TJ isn’t the best for Ian, however TJ is the only one who can truly understand everything about him. I think that Ian and TJ could be together if they both grow emotionally and learn how to communicate in a healthy way. Hopefully Jo can help Ian learn to do that.

TJ and Ian are so fucking hot. Their chemistry and attraction to each other is insane. Ian is so sensitive sexually when it comes to TJ too there’s just so much between them and they’re so sexy together. At this point it’s the TJ & Ian story, idk what function Jo’s ass even has, he needs to move around & let my babies be together

Let’s be real everyone reads for smut. Wet Sand is one of my favorite storylines by far but Jo functions more as a mirror for Ian and TJ. He helps them reveal more about their nature that they’re not willing to admit to. What this does is make TJ & Ian closer to each other because they’re building empathy for each other as they confront the truth about their personalities. Jo’s function as a love interest of Ian is dull.

If you looking for a fap material this isn't for you lol. A proper foundation of a love relationship doesn't build on sex only. Communication, trust, emotional support, shared values and beliefs and quality time all contribute to a foundation that will help your relationship endure. TJ's relationship with Ian missing all of these aspects while Jo has in his relationship with Ian. If you only wanted to be fck buddies then you don't have to care about any of these things. If you think he's just a mere cupid like every other good guys in love triangle then so be it lol. He's actually fighting for his love than being coward. How's good guys being dull now? Just admit that Jo has no toxic characteristics that will make you go horny.
This story is so insane but also wholesome I just love it I don’t even mind that it’s not an explicit BL the story is just that good
