I really hope this goes into the fondness/friendship before anything romantic first, sure Dan's into him but this is as one-sided as they come, besides that one "jealousy" thing with that actor there's not a flying fuck of a spark between them rn
I'd be really shallow if jaekyung "realized" his love for Dan just because he left
If that was the case jaekyung is a character written without sense and beyond repair, since his character rn makes sense if he never saw Dan in that way, but if that was supposed to be "romantic slow burn tension" then I can't defend this author any longer
(It wouldn't surprise me bc that's how it happened in bj alex, though Alex was different with dg than Jae is with dan, as he wasn't completely stone cold like jae)
But if this goes into a realizing that he needs dan generally more than he thought (and other leople) or that they meet again and he's not on his high horse anymore, Making it possible for him to see dan as a person and then falling in love, I think all of this was worth it
