Gang is it wrong to say that I think this chapter (82) makes tj be the actual replacement? Ian clearly states before that he believes Jo is too good for him and doesn't want anyone hurt. So he's settling to start new with tj out of survival for everyone, not involving Jo and his family, and moving away from being targets with tj.
As much as I hate to admit, but this is true.
Yw first abandoned TJ, got a fake ID, broke up with TJ (ch 32), and accepted to leave with Jo.
He's only asking TJ to go together (ch 82) bcz he thinks Jo might get hurt and feeling somewhat guilty, since he gotTJ in trouble.
Media literacy is dead for many and mean many tj stans because why am I seeing, even from korean readers, that the author nerfted tj when hes always been like that since the getco. Even saying that they thought tj was better than that when the whole flashbacks said he's worse than we thought. My god.
