I absolutely agree with what you've expressed above. JK wants his Jinx to be managed in a more controlled way. He repays his debts in exchange for sex, that's all. JK has never made any promise of love or a life of luxury to Dan; his only desire is to have sex. However, fans, disappointed and harboring toxic resentments linked to their dissatisfaction, are quick to cry foul and insult the author and his work. This is what worries me most about yaoi fans. But frankly, what are their expectations? In reality, life isn't as idyllic as they'd like it to be. A character who exchanges her body for money is simply doing a job, like anyone else. Prostitution is a profession in its own right, just like any other occupation, so yes, what Dan does can be considered work. He takes care of JK's Jinx, that's all. However, he's deluding himself.
Finally I met the right Jinxfan, like bruh.. Some readers are being mad and also fkn delusional too just bc Jaekyung doesn't show or barely show a single hit of "ROMANCE" or "AFFECTION" to Dan, they getting impatient mad. Let not be blind , this whole series until now, the author already indicate that Jaekyung doesn't give a fck about everything and only care about two single thing..
And that is his "CAREER as a BOXER" and also some "sex" ig as he like to doing it randomly.
Jaekyung:
CAREER > LOVE
SEX > LOVE
So other than that. He doesn't care about anything, that was his 'character', so not them expecting so much for a ML personality to change and have a character development to FALL IN LOVE RIGHT AWAY and became 'SOFT' just bc the MC liked him? we all know it's BL which mean (BOYS LOVE) so it will turn to that in the future, SLOWLY.. but expecting LOVE and became soft right away in this kind of character will be so unreal and fkn boring. Let the author slowly show us how he will develop those feelings first..They should stop reading this if they still don't get the point of this series at all. Seriously~
Frankly, you took the words right out of my mouth; fans tend to wrap themselves in illusions. It's undeniable that they will eventually be together, however, skipping steps for lack of patience only destroys the story completely. Such a move will present no logic; JK literally doesn't care about Dan and can't simply fall in love over a glass of booze. Dan must learn to respect himself in order to receive respect in return, but he's clearly disillusioned and a total masochist. For his part, JK is blinded by his ambition to always be the best.
Frankly, I don't understand those who perceive love or affection in JK's behavior.
Finally JK put Dan in his place.
I was waiting for this moment, because for the past 45 chapters I really didn't see any moment that implied JK likes Dan.
All I can see is he treating Dan like a sex toy, so I don't understand how y'all can find any aspect to justify Dan delusional.
Some of y'all were saying it was because of attachment, JK is the first one to help Dan from his massive debt.
Yeah, okay that's why Dan is an onahole for JK.
JK never showered Dan with affection or warm words, like how pathetic can Dan be to caught up feeling.
I wish Dan had some pride, and be smart about it.
Be like JK's ex... have fun and treat JK like ATM will be enough.
