IMO, what Jaekyung really needs is THERAPY. I think his transactional relationship with Dan is fairly valid bc they both got what they needed from it. The problem is his aggressive behavior and anger issues that overrides how he treats others, especially Kim Dan. Even a transactional relationship demands respect. If he was truly dissatisfied with something Kim Dan did, someone that didn't care would just withdraw what they were paying, not lash out and use force.
His other major issue is his single-minded obsession with success. I think it'd be interesting to explore more why he's so focused on it. We know nothing about his background, like at all. So based on that night terror, there might be a reason why he's so driven.
But just based on his current character, he's nowhere near ready for a relationship and quite frankly, I'm not too interested in seeing him and Dan get together. He's just not in the right headspace. Jaekyung has clear anger issues and a lack of disrespect for others. His priorities are also just not at all in his personal life. He clearly cares more for his career, and personally, I actually don't mind! I enjoy heavily driven characters, but bc of that, I don't think he has space in his mind for a relationship. This part of his characterization is honestly quite realistic so I'm excited to see where it goes!
My prediction is that it's going to be more focused on their character growths as individuals for a while. I see a lot of comments that want Jaekyung to grovel for Kim Dan and then to fall crazy in love like BJ Alex, but I just don't realistically see that here. I also find it a bit ridiculous that whatever inkling of romance there was could fix Jaekyung's issues. While Kim Dan would've helped, Jaekyung's issues and their consequences are deeply personal and would've happened with or without Kim Dan. In BJ Alex, the narrative was much more focused on the relationships, and the Seme's major flaw stemmed from a bad dating experience. Here, the characters have a lot of other things they focus on. I'm more excited to see how these Jaekyung and Kim Dan find some sort of inner peace on their own before coming together!
