I'm okay that Ian actually ended up with TJ. Cuz first of all: It can be seen that Ian and TJ's relationship has been clear from the start, they've been through thick and thin together even if TJ did some shitty things to Ian, Ian turned a blindeye because he really loves him. As for Joseph, boi YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER than Ian, well, Jo clearly knew that Ian really does care about TJ and he acknowledged their intimate relationship, yet Jo decided to stay with him even with that fact. Did Ian loved Jo? To be fair, I believed Ian got attracted/infatuated to Jo since Jo was the first person who welcomed him after becoming "normal" citizen in the society, Jo was the person who introduced new ordinary things to Ian which TJ never did cuz obv they are in the same hellhole together, broken and traumatized. So Ian was shaken up to this kind of thrill, yet still looking back to where he came from: TJ and their lifestyle. I also think that the Manhwa cover in here symbolizes something: usually in love triangle, 3 persons are in the cover but in here, only Ian was shown and looking to us (or them) and I feel that Ian actually has the power to choose his life and path based on that, but, I also think that it's perfect for Ian to be with TJ cuz even if he chose Jo, would Jo really be able to understand him completely? They're in a completely different world and experiences, and only TJ could do so (cause they literally grew with eo). Still, I feel so sad about what happened to Jo, not because he wasn't chosen, but because he had to experience those pain and still be strong and put up a smile while letting go of someone he really loved. I really hope Jo meet someone who's in the same page as him and loved him so so much cuz he really deserved all the love in the world. and it really pains me to see him like that.
