I think that maybe it's more like: "I wished things turned out differently in the past for them..." I'm not about to excuse Jihyun's actions, but it's just sad knowing his background story and what could've been a much happier, mutual happiness ending :(
Note: Jihyun as is tho is super problematic and toxic. I mean I wish we got to see him grow out of these ways with the help of Chiwoo (in the past), but you know how things ended up... :/
How do people STILL ship jihyun and chiwoo after all of that?! Especially after reading that authors note. Are you serious?!?!
