jumpscare of the spin off universe aside, i genuinely do not believe that chiwoo would have ended up with jihyun in any universe. chiwoo’s reluctance to acknowledge jihyun’s confessions over the years made it really clear that he never considered him in a sexual or romantic manner so even if jihyun did not rape the guy he claimed to love it still wouldn’t change the fact of chiwoo’s feelings which would always have led to some kind of relationship breakdown because even without the violation there was still the isolation and the manipulation that came from jihyun’s possessiveness that was born of his fucked up family ruining his adolescent socialisation. so unless if jihyun was never jihyun to begin with, there never would have been a relationship between them.
