I think i know why ians genuinely repenting rn- when nine was the one who awakened and melissa the one who broke through to save yuri, the story was completely on a new route. Yuri’s “subconscious” even said that the story would always be the same but it isnt. Ian at the beginning didnt know what to do when melissa asked for a reason to not divorce, meaning that the script has run its course. The characters are able to feel for themselves and change the way they want to, which might be why jake didnt act the way melissa expected, and ians acting like he genuinely wants to make it up to melissa. At this point on, there’s no destined ending for melissa to expect, and the characters are free from their chains to stick to their descriptions.
But this is just a theory- a WEBTOON theory
Hmmm judging from an’s reaction to kang just touching his lip cuz he wanted to, i think the future issue is gonna have to do something with the fact that an isnt used to romance? This is just something in the back of my mind but it feels like hes not used to like just doing things because he loves someone else which is why every time they honestly met he was so used to just making out from the general get go. I could be forgetting some things since this storys been out for a long ass time but thats just what i think
