I think one of the worst punishments for JK is knowing how much of an awful creature he was and having to live with the guilt of knowing he hurt the only person who ever truly loved him. Like just having that guilt eat him away inside. Not only did he constantly slut shame Dan and use him like a mere object (altho from Dan's point it was a consensual transaction), but he also constantly humiliated and even exposed him in a vulnerable position without his consent (by having sex in front of Heesung). He really did a lot of terrible things and even if Dan were to say he forgives him, I don't think JK will ever live it down. I know they're gonna end up together regardless but it's rare to see a top be so willing to let the person they hurt go because they know they fucked up big time.
I highly agree!! Some of these people in the comments will act like JK should stop getting hate because he's redeeming himself. Um no, he was absolutely awful 80% of the time and him, acting brand new, is not gonna absolve him , may he continue to get lashings every chapter lol !!!
