As Jiho said, everyone he ever loved had either left him behind or died. Being with Yoojoon made him uneasy that Yoojoon would eventually do it too, leading Jiho to leave him first, under the (false) pretense that doing so is "protecting" himself, basically self fulfilling prophecy.
Its sad how self destructive traumatized people can be :(

SEAWEED SOUP IS FORESHADOWING
wait what do you mean by that
Wdym? I thought it was just cuz Koreans traditionally eat seaweed soup on birthdays
They eat it on birthdays because it's what the mom eats when she's pregnant so it's the way to honor her
If ur saying u think he's pregnant, I think thats kind of a big stretch.
It's just a guess bro
WAIT. I initially thought you were on to nothing, but like IT'S NOT HIS BIRTHDAY YET
I think it's the day before, but they only celebrated early cuz all their plans were thrown out the door by the weather. I mean hopefully the muncher of rugs is right and they eventually have a babeh, but I feel like an accidental pregnancy would overshadow MC's realization (that took literally forever) that he loves ML. I think it was just supposed to be a sweet coincidence to kinda overwrite the trauma of his bday
I'm sorry, I just looked up the average monthly salary in Japan and I would not shag my biggest opp for like a week and a half's worth of work. Good thing I'm not a character in this manga.
IT'S ONLY A WEEK??? they were already wanting it there's NOWAY
Yah apparently it's around 300,000 yen a month and they were only getting paid 100k which is less than a 1000 bucks
*tbs around $700 bucks
jiwoos ass is so flat, every time I see the illustrations attempt to gag us, it's like
I hope you're ready! For NOTHING

Eat him up sis
Tbh I enjoy this story but unless Andrew's family is conservative and he still wants to keep ties with them or that Luke has some kinda trauma associated with being gay it's kind hard for me to believe that two WHITE, HOT, MEN dating is NOT going to be accepted in an urban city at a well known theater arts program which likely infers a thriving theater scene which is likely gonna be liberal asf in AMERICA even with the trump shit going on unless this was set in like 2012-14 which is when the Amazing Spiderman movies with Andrew a Garfield came out and the baby woke stage was just gaining ground. I think they'd recieve far more scrutiny for a possible cheating scandal with Luke's ex than them being gay. The bisexual bit would feel more like an afterthought than a main problem. And based on their personalities and theater ass friend group It feels highly unlikely they would care too much about the couple homophobes they would encounter occasionally unless of course again one of them has some kinda trauma associated with being discriminated against for being gay. Which I don't rlly remember happening. Someone please remind me of it did, and if it actually is set in the early 2010's. Rn being lgbtq in THEATER in AMERICA in 2025 is far too mainstream for me to find this believable even with all the trump shit. The whole political aspect in the USA is just too polarized rn but even then even Gays for trump exists. Like look at Jonathan Bailey and Matt bomer whose careers seem unaffected by being gay asf in reality. Look at how call me by your name launched Timmy C's career. It just feels unrealistic in the context of their environment.
