His jinx is not mostly sex. Honestly? It's his general response to trauma and setbacks. He just needs proper sleep and less nightmares and sex kind of provided him that. It tires him out to sleep and honestly? Who even thinks properly during sex? That explains the nightmares. Also he drinks milk in his routine that's kind of reminding him where he started and why he can't afford to lose which explains the child version of him holding milk as a panel for flashback and him spraying cologne on him after showering just to remind himself he's now accomplished to even stink. He now had privileges. I think a healthy relationship with someone could alleviate the need for his past haunting him to calm down.
ALSO! The story ain't shit. It's honestly so human when a character like Jaekyung is complex. It reveals what other people goes through and how it shaped them. He's not a good green flag top that y'all are looking for. He's toxic alright but the point of this arc is him chasing to get to the positive side of being human and not just chasing Dan. I place my bet on Dan fixing him without doing it directly. Like literally Dan came from being the good guy until he ended up back to being alcoholic and a mess after Jaekyung. Jaekyung will somehow change his ways, realized he turned Dan like that when he himself remembered he came from a difficult situation, became the same alcoholic, a smoker, and was in poor financial situation. Yeah pretty much they'll fix it themselves but I expect Jaekyung to do more and try to fix his mess. All chips in.
