Honestly this is why I despise the second fiddle trope of harbored love, I know ultimately the second couple are an official coupling, but the Blond Frenchie(Jooan) truly doesn’t deserve Seojoon. Even if you exclude the fact that Joo-an isn’t beholden in returning Seojoon’s feelings he clearly doesn’t “respect” Seojoon beyond what he serves in meeting Joo-an’s immediate needs. I know they’ll end up together regardless of my wants but I genuinely wish the author went the route of giving Seojoon a proper a love interest, and still let Seojoon air out his grievances of being taken for granted. The fact he’ll still end up with Joo-an still ultimately reads as rewarding Joo-an despite his much needed self reflection and maturity growth.
