Jo’s obsession? I might wanna add on to that coz TJ is lowkey manipulative if you think about it, he’s been soft manipulating Ian into thinking it’s his fault for the life that they live now which is absurd coz tj chose that and still prioritizes that for himself. Yes they’ve grown together and alat but tj never even thought of settling down with Ian or putting a label to their rs until Ian finally decided to move on. This chap just proved that coz at the end of the day tj is only pulling Ian back to what Ian is desperately tryna escape. Which is why I feel icky with most tjian shippers coz I would’ve rooted for them if it wasn’t how how manipulative and toxic tj is and ofc some of these people here glorify that given the other manhwas they support which normalizes toxic and unhealthy behaviors. AND Ofc Ian still feels for tj coz they’ve known each other for so long and the unresolved feelings Ian has always had for tj which btw tj acknowledges but refuses to resolve.

I agree with you, that’s why I said the relationship is toxic from the beginning. And as for Jo that was just my feelings towards him, both him and Tj are obsessed and it is not healthy at all (despite me still loving Tj and wishing he could leave this gangster stuff behind) as I said I feel Ian shouldn’t be with either of them not when his feelings are complex. I can’t tell much about Jo other than him being weirdly obsessed but again I don’t want to judge further until the author shows more of Jo and Ian

I will be honest I love Tj and I would love for him and Ian to be together but that not until he stops being manipulative. He loves Ian and it is clear he can’t admit it to him BUT he still prioritizes the gang life more than Ian which is clearly a no no for me. Ian shouldn’t be with Tj or Jo hell even anyone else right now until he breaks free from his previous gangster life completely. We saw what happened last chapter and that was his choice to go to the gangsters trap. I am seeing it from a point that it is not Tj’s fault in this specific situation just like it’s not Ian’s fault that Jo kept following him because it was his choice to follow
Sorry if that was confusing I just didn’t know how to explain

I believe it’s how we all perceive the characters and I appreciate that you do understand the layered dynamics between these characters or at least you try to coz some people here don’t do that. However, I’m still confused with how you’re comparing tj’s obsession with Jo? Or there might def be some disparities in how we define “obsession”. I think tj’s “love” for Ian rn is deeply rooted in his desire to have him regardless of what his welfare is. Let’s not forget his stalker-like tendencies towards Ian where he lit sends in people to gather infor on the stuff Ian’s doing and not doing anything about their rs even though he knows it ultimately hurts Ian. I think this is obsession which stems from his fear of Ian finally leaving him.
Okay listen to me.. I get they shouldn’t be together and they’re both toxic to one another but WHY for gods sake I want Tj and Ian together Tj you dumbass just say you love him and leave that stupid life away..
I mean even if Ian fights with Tj in the next chapter and goes back to Jo, Idk I don’t see that’s the right thing to do. There’s no chemistry or connection between the both and Ian would still be connected to his previous gangster life, which means *Ian* will still be close to Tj. Everything is gonna keep hunting him to no ends. The only good endgame I see if Ian leaves completely and changes his identity without telling Jo nor Tj about it, just him restarting his life away. In my opinion I see all three are toxic to each other and there’s noway these relationships could work in the long term
