No offense but you could improve your reading comprehension if you think they’re back at the beginning Jk has gone through the most personal growth he’s ever had in his life? And choosing to let him go versus seducing him to stay with him when he knows Kim Dan would say yes because he’s thinking about what’s best for Kim Dan over his needs is character growth and story progression nothing is the same as when Kim Dan first left

Mmmmkay why is the author not advancing the story? We're back at the beginning and it's making me want to quit the story
