That is exactly how I feel. Cain’s feelings towards Jooin don’t feel healthy, they just seem obsessive. Yahwi seems like he’s trying for Jooin, he’s realizing that Jooin deserves better, and wants to be that better for him.
For real. We know why Yahwi is so emotionally and socially stunted, we know that he’s not at bad guy at heart, we know that he sees that he hurt Jooin and is trying to do better for him, we know that they had a past when they were kids that only Yahwi can recall because it meant so much to him. With all of that intense development that could give a relationship an actual strong foundation, I’m just unable to see Cain as an actual candidate because him and our current Jooin have no actual development. They barely know each other.
I feel like I like Yahwi being with Jooin more than Cain because their relationship seems much more grounded in reality. Cain’s relationship with him is basically “You helped me many years ago when I was a wolf, and now that I’m reincarnated as a tall sexy man, I have forcefully thrusted myself into your life to be kind and treat you as if you’re still a master taking care of your dog, but also I’m very horny for you.” and that’s just a bit much for a non fanciful world. If this was a fantasy comic and stuff like that was actually considered normal, I’d like it more but all of that wild shit is in relation to this normal gay boy and his normal life and normal everything. So when you compare that to another normal boy and their normal situations and relationships together, it makes that development feel so much more impactful than everything going on with Cain. It feels like there’s actual substance to it. I do still like Cain (although I still think his personality is a bit fake and underhanded with good intentions), but if we’re talking about Jooin’s relationships with him or Yahwi, being with Yahwi seems so much more… real… and not ridiculous… and when they do settle their issues, it’d actually feel well developed and satisfying. Not just like a cute guy dropped from the sky and latched himself to you so you better date him despite knowing nothing about him besides the fact that he’s poor, foreign, and madly in love/obsessed with you.
