I actually do not care if Jaekyung doesnt stop being a dick just as long as when he does act like one, its actually for a good reason, instead of just deciding that he doesnt care for people out of nowhere.
Like if youre gonna catch feelings for our boy Kim Dan then you better start being a little more mature than just pissing off for little to no reason. I do not care if your childhood was shit (yes ik some people might act accordingly because of their trauma but still..), it doesnt excuse the fact that you and only you have a choice to let that affect you or not, Jaekyung.
Other than that, I actually am interested to see how Jaekyung will be in his lover boy era lol. I feel like he'd be the type to peel an orange for Kim Dan nonchalantly and kisses him after he's done like?? that'd be so cute while still maintaining the Jaekyung we know, minus the bad part.. (kinda close to the art of Jaekyung holding baby ver Kim Dan in his arms gently despite having a rested face lol I loved that art of them).
Like he can just be a family man, can care for people and especially Kim Dan despite looking like he doesnt gives a fuck. Lol Idk, anything's possible atp
extra note:
For the record, I have trauma, my family isnt the best and I had a rough childhood cus they werent really the type to sit down with me while I cried, instead they get mad at me when I take too long to say why I was lol but still, I kinda turned out decent—Im not racist, Im an honor student in school, I participate in church choir and so on. So thats what Im kinda referring to in the 2nd paragraph, and I believe there are people in the same position as me, that may feel the same way :)
Okay thats all... bye...

I might not be able to say what's not already said here but
Yeah its right that Jaekyung doesn't have anything else in his life that's important to him other than boxing, training, winning(in matches, not in life lmao) and fucking. Like okay fair we got to see why hes like that and a jerk because of his deadbeat father but how about everything else like, why he's gay or why he has the jinx he has? please, i hope theres a reasonable explanation in the future cus its still confusing and its STILL NOT ENOUGH for his redemption arc.
And please I hope theres a good reason or atleast a good chance why he's still capable of (him) loving?? cus if his childhood didnt actually give him a good example or role to love people then how can he love?? (PS i dont mind if its "Oh its cus Kim Dan changed him!" okay whatever but still, make that a fuel to his ALREADY EXISTING REASON why he should love romantically if there is one. I DONT WANT THAT AS THE MAIN REASON. KIM DAN IS SUPPOSED TO BENEFIT HIS LIFE, NOT ACTUALLY BE HIS LIFE. if yk what I mean. actually idk what I mean.. but you get it bro
In all, its going great I guess I give it a solid 5/10 backstory cus some parts still missing but WE GETTING THERE PEOPLE!

If jaekyung does get that redemption arc were all waiting for and if then Kim dan and him will get together, I hope it'll be a GOOD amount of time until so happens, like a lotta months or years. Cus I will not believe this manhwa if Kim dan automatically forgives jaekyung and they immediately get together.
Please make use of that arc first, please make a reason why Kim dan should give jaekyung another chance, and PLEASE GIVE US THAT REDEMPTION ARC AT THE RIGHT TIME.

SERIOUSLY!!
But unfortunately, even if the author makes it years of time skipping with horse face being nice to Dan, squeezing that into 3-4 chapters would still suck. Sure I can suspend my disbelief for a lot of manga tropes but it would feel sooooo insulting for 72 chapters of straight abuse to be ended and resolved in 5 chapters lol

*Spoiler ahead for Hit on by a kinky guy!!!!!*
yeah real?? like theres a manga I love which is "Hit on by a kinky guy" and It had an excellent redemption arc for the r*pist. I dont exactly remember but it totally didn't take less than 10 chapters to resolve I believe. All because the author didnt just straight up put them in a scene which forced them two to talk head on head in the heat of the moment. IT WAS A PROCESS OF FORGIVENESS AND TRUE LOVE.
and bro like even after everything, the apology, the relationship confirmed and dates, the r*pist guy still feels bad(but dw they resolve it eventually..) im crying, but yeah I hope its just like that. Everyone loves Takamada now loll and we would die for him! Hope the same for Jaekyung.
I love this chapter, not much happened but its definitely something and im sure most of us has been WAITING for this.
This marks the start of the chasing arc (+ redemption arc?) guys!! But I agree that Jaekyung should get rejected first to experience smt more than defeat but thats it.. idk what else should happen but we still got a long way to go everyone.
