I think this is like the third time where Ian flipped flopped between tj and Jo. Like Ian doesn’t owe them loyalty but it’s more of just bad writing imo. They aren’t communicating anything between tj and Ian, I’m pretty sure they just fuck every time they see each other. And after seeing it for the 3rd time it’s annoying, at least Ian and Jo can talk their feelings out for a second. And that’s also why it’s obvious that Ian will end up with Jo, so we’re just wasting time.
I don't think it bad writing at all. We see from the past that this sort of thing has always been a way to express their love for each other cu non of them ever said it out loud to one another. The both of them never label anything on their relationship instead they keep hooking up with other person and each time they come back to each other. It becomes a habit and that habit not gonna just disappear over night especially when they have been doing it as long as TJ and YW.But It's definitely tiring to see no communication between the two. But it also in character
The reason I think it’s bad writing is because it’s been done too much to where if feels like it’s just to draw the story out because we’re at a stand still, the plot keeps needing to pause so we can watch these two run back to each other for what feels like the 100th time. If they removed a couple scenes early on with this exact thing happening it wouldn’t feel as frustrating now, since it actually makes sense to the plot since Ian can’t stay away from the toxicity. Like imagine the story in novel format, and you just read it from start to finish, not weekly. It’d be the same tired scene on replay with little being progressed through in between.

		







The bottom is freaky asf, the top is traumatized. And it’s lowkey toxic but not that rapist BS all the yaoi slop been putting out. I fear I’ve stumbled upon peak.
But also I’m kinda sad the author moved onto another story so fast, I was hoping for side stories for their last BL…
