go off with everything you said bc when people say he suddenly liked him I'm like did we read the same story?? It's been setup since their introduction in early s2 like Jooan wasn't tenderly stroking Seojoon's cheek in ch 37 and neutered as a serious love rival from the start for nothing. like from their first chapters the authors show how Jooan NEEDS to be with Seojoon time and time again and he basically envisioned them always being together. He'd eventually realize he couldn't live without him as soon as their close relationship was threatened and even if it never turned romantic he would choose Seojoon over anything every time, their soulmatism is everything to me
YES EXACTLY. plus, the confession was SO romantic, and jooan was even more devastated by the fact that seojoon thinks so little of himself!! he literally lost it the moment seojoon left, especially when seojoon started talking about himself as just hajin’s replacement. like if THAT isn’t love then idk what is!!!?? and everything jooan me did after the confession was just peak deranged man-in-love behavior. like WHO chases someone down with a helicopter just so he can confess?? and WHO remembers your favorite flower that you mentioned YEARS ago???
Huh, you do realize that Jooan literally spent years having sex with people with striking resemblance to Hajin.
You said it yourself, he has gotten so used to Seojoon being there, so when he hot rejected bu Hajin, what he felt for Seojoon wasn’t love, it was FEAR.
The fear of losing someone who stayed with him and made his life COMFORTABLE.
He’s just AFRAID to lose Seojoon because he doesn’t know how to live a life without him.
That’s not love, that’s CONVENIENCE.
Seojoon deserves better than this selfish manwhore brat.
Seojoon should’ve made Jooan grovel for years.
But sadly, Seojoon was surrounded by toxic people who forced him to talk it out even though he wasn’t ready.
And that manwhore Jooan decided to jump from a helicopter to guilt trip Seojoon.
WOW how ROMANTIC

YALL THEIR LOVE ISNT SUDDEN, the REALIZATION is. their romantic relationship is new, but their emotional intimacy has YEARS of history behind it. that’s why the whole “jooan suddenly fell for seojoon” argument feels so reductive the story didn’t suddenly create a bond between them!!!!! it changed how jooan understands a bond that was already there!!!!! and this is where the distinction between hajin and seojoon becomes SO important: hajin represents the love jooan consciously CHASED, while seojoon represents the love jooan unconsciously LIVED. hajin was the person jooan spent years WANTING. seojoon was the person he spent years HAVING. like HELLO??? that distinction is EVERYTHING. and the really delicious part is that hajin himself understands something about jooan’s relationship with seojoon before jooan does. he’s basically telling jooan, “you’ve been loved in a way you didn’t recognize because you were too focused on the form you expected love to take.”
so it’s not “jooan forgot hajin and randomly picked seojoon.” PLEASE!!!!! it’s literally about jooan realizing that the kind of love he had been chasing wasn’t necessarily the only form love could takeand that he had already been deeply loved by someone who had been beside him all along!!!!!!!!!!! SO SWEEEEEEET BRO I AM CURRENTLY LOSING MY MIND
