Let’s be honest it’s both of them having communicated issues.
Our bottom confronts but he also doesn’t say what he wants. For example how can he actually know if they are seeing differently. He says they prioritize different things but what does he prioritize? Did he communicate that? Did he confront top regarding how he doesn’t even know if he likes him back? Etc.
He is going based on fear and like his past self he prefers jumping the boat of him breaking up then getting hurt by the answers if he doesn’t get them.

Jk is realizing that money, power, and sex don’t give him the control he thought he had. And that’s the real shift—because once he figures that out, he has to either change or lose Dan completely.
Dan has finally set a clear boundary and now he is in control something JK is not use to. Is now slowly seeing JK figure out the “why” of this whole events.

Look idk how this is redeeming him or how this will help him sort his feelings. I would have love to see more of him going crazy and been force by his coach to go with a therapist or something. This dude needs emotional al education and everyone around him just let him and won’t say anything. Dan needs someone who will stand up for him and let JK know the f true of his actions and emotional turmoil. We know they will end up together but damn he needs therapy for his mental health.
Look I know they toxic and stuff but what’s as the point of the story going into the flow of both of them being confuse regarding their situation if they would end up in the same place as in the beginning.
I will let it marinate.
