1. i feel like it would be interesting for the story/character dev if the mom is NOT accepting, at least at first. it'll give jaehyuk an opportunity to put his money where his mouth is n show that he really isn't like the shitty ex who threw garam under the bus for his mom
2.a. i feel like if this were written by a japanese author it would actually be a bittersweet tragedy in which jaehyuk promises he's different from the shitty ex but when the rubber meets the road it turns out we are all cowards in front of homophobia/our mothers so he gets a brutal lesson before he learns to stand up to her/society.... maybe i been reading too much manga with the tragedy tag lmao
