i really just don't want to be delusional when it comes to love triangles, because its fucking humbling to see the endgame at the end not being your pick(coming from a cain, mujin, and taku stan btw) so i just accept things beforehand(i hope delusional stans too )
Tbh I don’t want either one of them to end up together with ian idk hot take for me??
Let's be honest here, jo is literally what's best for Ian, he's healing him, even tho I also like tj but his love for Ian is so toxic and obsessive and I think they would've been if they had brotherly love? I know their bond is deeper and Jo is kind of clueless but dude loves him and he's everything that Ian realized he needed to leave everything behind and live a normal life, and what's better than jo?? He's so good to him and is trying so hard for him, I hope Ian does leave with him because he deserves a break for god's sake TJ is hella toxic ( I love him too but dude let's be realistic) I feel like Ian is in a tight spot still thinking about TJ everytime and everyday but he'll eventually let go ( I hope so ) and is it just me or I feel like a big plot is about to happen? I started this piece a long time ago but dropped it in the first chapters thinking it was boring but got back now since I couldn't find something worth to read and it was soooooo good not even joking

Not to mention Ian always wanted to live normally that's why he was determined to drop TJ and everything else? So I don't think TJ's gonna win unless it's a bad ending
Everyone is saying that jo is 100% the endgame but tbh, i can't fully see him as one(maybe 60% chance?) he just radiates secondlead vibes and he's honestly being a backburner and rebound rn(bro fucking stand up!) and ian is still hung up on TJ(it's more likely bcs of guilt that he keep on running back to TJ).
as much as i don't see jo as the endgame, TJ defo ain't going to win but I'm having doubts since the author is honestly a good writer it'll take an incredible skill in writing to makr the route suddenly shift towards tj for it to be a satisfactory endgame. cause honestly, even just reading the summary, you can tell that the whole point of the story is ian's freedom, growth, and moving forward. if ian were to end up with TJ, then it would kill the whole plot because i doubt TJ would choose ian over the gang, and it would kill ian growth and development as a character as well if he keep on going back to his past.
I'm a jo stan, but i honestly think that the best ending for this is for them to go on their separate ways, live their OWN life. jo coming back to his family and living a normal life like how it's supposed to be, tj still being in the gang focusing on his own growth, and finally ian achieving the freedom and normal life with no guilt/fear that he's been hoping for. all of them are not healthy for eachother, they need peace, healing, and therapy not love!
