Honestly, I think you're overthinking it. You can work with someone's ex and still be serious about them. If he did plan it (which I don't believe since the agency has been giving Leo's projects and photoshoots to Jowoon), I cannot wait to find out why. If anything, it makes for an interesting story and it needs to push ahead--there are 29 chapters out, and they were bound to meet. The central theme of this story are two ex stepbrothers having a sexual relationship. And a photographer that has a porn of himself and his ex on the web. Do you think anyone in this story has any decency?
With Flashbacks playing a huge part in the story, I think overthinking readers is part of the author's intentions.. but yeah, decency is out of the picture and any normal romance too.. not hating on the idea, just stating that it can be possible---- and I like it, the plot thickens.. just some people are romanticising the step brother and Taku so much when they both equally good and bad in their own ways
And DECISIVE.. but I can't help but be cautious and wary of his intentions. There's no better man with either Taku or Joowon.. they both have their weirdness and agendas.. Taking.. he's in "Love with his art and he did say he likes anything sensual, doesn't have to be deep or anything, but sensual" - Taku (ch5) and so in the latest chapter did he plan it *spoiler*

Meeting Joowon? Nothing wrong with it. I LOVE THE STORY no matter who Haesoo ends up with. Idc.
Going back to Taku.. From day 1 Taku has called the shots on his life. He can turn down any interview he wants.. same with the projects. So, he doesn't have to sit there and take a project if he didn't want to. Like seriously. Something is off. Nobody is forcing him to take the job. He doesn't need the publicity nor the money. Talking about decency~ he should've avoided Joowon, turned down working with him~ if~he's really serious with Haesoo. But if all he wants is the allure of sex and the taboo air with Haesoo then that explains why he just say there and let things happen.. even to the point of pissing off Leo.
Also I hope they will use protection haha. If they don't, means Taking likes Haesoo too much or he's carefree. Lol
