Babe you got read it throughly. This chapter literally shows that Joian endgame is more likely to happen. Ian didn't even go back to him, tj found him and pull him in. This chapter showed a repeated cycle they had since S1 and nothing has actually changed between them. Nothing new but just plain sex everytime they meet. Tbh it's a chapter even joian should celebrate.
i’ve seen people say that if ian does choose jo, it’s more him settling than actually wanting to be with jo & only jo, because he still craves tj and tj just can’t give himself to ian properly BUT i will definitely binge this for myself once it’s completed. i hope you’re right hahah
They always say it's "settling" as an insult to Jo and his relationship with Ian, making it not important but is it really settling if Ian had to kill someone out of protection for Jo?
Ian doesn't crave tj, he craves love but the only love he experienced was greed, but Ian is finally experiencing a love he never known before with Jo which does make him unknown what to feel and how to act. He still so used to the behavior tj made him accustom too we just got wait for Ian to break that route, it be perfect in next chapter of Ian breaking that accustom route but I highly doubt it. But yes the safest for readers is to wait when it's completed because I think so actions will make us angry when it's ongoing.
i dropped this to let it marinate wayyyy back because there were only a few chapters out (but also because im kinda bad with stories that have two semes/male leads). but every now and then i check in to see if ian has finally chosen and it just looks like he’s always going back to tj... joian endgame believers are we okay orz
