I don't like the 'romantic' relationship, or whatever progress it's on. IMO I like relationships that are written to show how personalities/values mesh. Kim Dan's side, I get it. He viewed JJK as a protector and admired his work ethic a lot. JJK has never been interested in Kim Dan as a person outside of what he could do for him. This new 'concern' for him feels like its arising out of pity more than anything else.
At this point, im reading more just to explore their individual stories. JJK has some major anger issues that tie into his desperation for success. It seems to stem from some sort of trauma, that drives him to want to be the best and unaccepting of anything less. IDK how Kim Dan is gonna temper that.
Kim Dan has some major abandonment issues. He struggles to live on his own, both literally and mentally. Again, not sure how JJK can possibly help with that. At this point, it feels like the characters are getting pushed together out of co-dependency, guilt, pity, and fear. I don't love it but i'm curious how the author is gonna navigate these personal issues of the characters.
