Finally the official translation anyway was rereading and I'm noticed that the "love" between Ian and tj feels like it's built solely under limerence, mainly from tj side though. Loving/building a version different from how they actually are.
Jo as well in the beginning but that quickly changes because Jo sees Ian flaws but knows he still a good person deep down, Jo talks to Ian truthfully and honestly, he tells Ian he's broken, he does not romantize it, while tj does when he said "that's the look I like" while Ian was in guilt. Jo sees the real Ian without prejudice. Tj created a version of Ian and tried hard to make Ian fall for him while not understanding the real Ian. Ian had genuinely fell in love with tj but he slowly is falling out of love, passion fading (Ian words) because he only loves the tj before the gang. Ian cling to the old version of tj and expected more once they got intimate but tj only focused on the legacy he wanted to build for himself.
You may say Ian isn't in love with Jo but I see he's just starting to but doesn't realize it because he's self destructive and when he's self destructive he goes to the one he knows who will punish him for it, tj. Ian thinks he deserves the worse so he follows tj who reminds him that's what he deserves.
