Y'all, he just STARTED to realize how shitty he was and already y'all are expecting this man who is full of pride and egp to immediately drop down and beg on his knees for forgiveness? Sit the fuck down and wait. It's just starting for fuck's sake.
Y'all dont seriously expect him to start bowing down infront of Dan, hands rubbing together, on his knees with tears flowing out of his eyes like a waterfall right???????
AT LEAST he's finally realized what he did and how bad it was. No, his traumatic and sad backstory does not excuse his shitty behavior towards Dan but it did give us an understanding to how he became that way.
In his monologue he said that for him, to survive is to win. He's so focused on winning because he doesn't ever want to experience the shitty things he did when he was younger that its completely blinded him to the point he's resorted to such acts towards Dan, especially during the time when he got injured before the match with Junmin, who we now know what his relationship is with. He got angry and blindly accused Dan and fired him and said shitty stuff to him that broke Dan even more than he already is with Jaekyung's treatment towards him.
Then Jaekyung realized what he did after spending time with him and how much it affected him that he gets nightmares from when he saw Dan trying to go into the ocean. He's finally opening his eyes to the effects and consequences of his actions and words towards Dan AND THIS IS GOOD!!! Because now, he's aware.
But y'all need to know, this is only thr START of the chasing arc. He hasn't even properly talked to Dan about this now properly thought about it so stop saying that he should be begging by now. Just stop. Fucking WAIT. Let it cook, surely, he'll also get his awakening like Jiwon in BJ Alex but for now, we let it cook.
And if you hate is so so so much, no one is stopping you from dropping this and forgetting about it. No point in coming here and reading if in the end, you're just gonna complain about how Jaekyung is still not doing this or still not doing that, right?
