Right? It's very rare a previously toxic love interest gives the MC what they actually need. It's a nice change. Ido didn't push Sejin into forgiving him, but gave what he asked for despite his own reluctance.
As for the readers...I guess everyone is just too deep into the traumatic toxicity of BL/yaoi that they turn a blind eye to Ido's changes. It's a shame.

Notice Ido said: " What can I do to make you stop hurting?" Not..."for you to forgive me?" (And while kneeling!!!)
Very demure. Very classy. Very adjure.
The comment section did not pass the vibe though.
