Like I couldn't agree more Joe is literally the only option he gave up everything and yet people still considering tj
I also don’t understand people who read it as a love triangle and think the endgame is so hard to predict, and that both male leads have an equal chance.
From the start, Jo gives main male lead vibes since his character aligns with the protagonist’s goal. So basically, he’s the only option. TJ is never an option because he represents everything Ian wants to run from.
What’s funny is that even if Jo wasn't in the picture, TJ still wouldn’t be an option. We know Ian and TJ will never work if TJ is still in the gang, and Ian is never giving up on his dream of living a normal life.
The only way TJ could’ve had a chance at being endgame is if he left the gang, but it’s too late for that, since the endgame will be revealed around halfway through season 3 (around chapter 20). Jo is clearly the endgame from the start. people need to stop pretending it’s hard to predict.
I don’t understand how people have been reading this as a love triangle, for me jo still is the only option considering how the story is going, choosing tj would just throw Ian’s character growth under the bus
