with this backstory, it seems so out of character for him to be doing all the shit he did when he grew up. you would think with the amount of abuse he has witnessed and experienced (and the fact that he wants to protect his mom from the hurt inflicted by his father) that he'd learn from it, instead he chooses to exert the same abuse and pain to hurt other people. this story could've taken a wayyy better trajectory that actually showcases growth lol but i guess the author wanted to show that the abused eventually becomes the abuser lolz lazy fucking excuse of a backstory, jaekyung worked hard to get out of that situation, it just really frustrates me that the author wrote him like this when he grew up, his potential to be an ACTUAL deep and meaningful character was taken cus the author was too focused on sexual assault









why yall mischaracterize the fuck out of tj jus cus yall don't want him to be w ian lolz two things can be true at the same time. one, that ian is better with jo, and two, but that doesn't mean tj is this one-dimensional character y'all oversimplify him to be
It’s either that or they ignore everything snd just want TJ and Ian as endgame without thinking about their gruesome history TT. Liek TJ, he’s a complex character and a good character as well, but he’s not meant to be in a relationship until he heals, and definitely not one with Ian. If someone’s gonna end up together between them all, it’s either Ian and Jo, or Ian and Ian.
