Maybe! I think this is his first relationship right? That makes him even more stupid. He has no idea how to treat someone. Hes trying bruh.also he's fucking pixelated. People LOVEE to hate because its popular and they dont get it why. The art is bomb and the plot ain't half bad. That's it. Literally.
Fr, they also gotta remember, while he's still with abusive father he do boxing at a very young age( w/ bully children), while he's boxing he learned his mother got new family, father died, went rouge, ran errands for criminals then got introduce in his current sport!
He got a really violent surrounding growing up of course this doesn't excuse what he'd done, it only explain it but give the man some slack!
JK and KD's relationships is in the gray area since they have a contract and all but c'mon.
They gotta remember the hate POTN got back then but turned 180 degree after the redemption Arc, and JK didn't even do a quarter of what Suengho did to Nakyum but look we love them now (This got me thinking I don't have money to buy the 2026 Calendar)

I think you guys are LITERALLY forgetting how this all started... bc of his Jinx. Just bc he's in his redemption arc doesn't mean it's gonna stop.
but at least he's like trying to take it slow and not scare Dan, that a step forward bc he used to just be and ass and not care but now he's like somewhat caring.
Like literally the book is called “Jinx”.. idk what you guys expected.
