That was the softest look I’ve ever seen from Jk

I agree with you. I get the others that say what soft look but jk showed another emotion on his face beside anger, ego, sarcastic, and horny.
As much as I don't want them to be together, but we all know they will, I'm gonna bet it's gonna be a low tide in twilight where jk won't let Dan go near water and unplug his pool.

People tend to forget that she came from an abusive household, which is why she is easily triggered. She always tried to keep her emotions hidden because, when she was young, even the slightest emotion or sound could have led to her getting hit by her parents or guardians. Mincheol was her safe space for about half of those 13 years; he was probably the first and only person she could truly rely on before their turning point.
What many people also tend to ignore is that, yes, from our perspective, she is very frustrating for still thinking about the man who cheated on her and put her through so much pain. It’s easy for us to say that she should just move on and stop thinking about her trash husband, but that’s not how it works. She is trauma-bonded to him, and it is not and will never be easy to break that bond.
You might be getting frustrated because her progress seems too slow, but this is a slow burn. The fact is, she is progressing and moving on faster than most people in similar situations, and that is because Taeha came into the picture. If Taeha had not approached her, she would have been begging her ex to stay and not leave her because she would think she had no one else but Mincheol. Instead, our girl got angry at her trash ex-husband and kicked him out. She was also worried about the younger girl that Mincheol was fooling around with, which indicates that she is somehow in a healthier state of mind. She is doing better and moving on faster.
Personally, I would drop this manhwa immediately if the plot progressed any faster than this.

So my theory is, Mincheol got involved in some deep shit that got him drowning in debt which he passed to Haesoo. So, Mincheol is 90% dealing with shady people before and maybe one of the victims that got roped on whatever Mincheol was doing is Taeha’s mom. Taehee called him illegitimate so his mom might be from a poor background which is usually an easy target by those shady people.
All I can think about is STIs and STDs
