At the funeral, Seojin felt the distance between him and Jei, and I think that’s a very important detail. In that moment, he felt like he had no right to be there during Jei’s grief because he wasn’t family.
Then Gisela told Seojin that she had asked Jei what Seojin was to him, and Jei answered, “Seojin is everything to me.” That completely shook Seojin.
He returned to Korea and tried to get in touch with Jei, but Jei was kind of cold because he was afraid of getting too close again. So time passed. Eventually, Seojin went to Paris to see that friend of his. His friend threw a party because Seojin wasn’t doing well, but he had actually invited Jei to Paris so they could reconcile. Before Jei appeared in front of Seojin, Seojin called him, and eventually they met.
They went to a bar, where Jei asked to break up. But Seojin told him that it wasn’t his decision to make alone. He told Jei that he was everything to him too, and that he would prove his love to him. Over the following months, Seojin tried to show Jei how much he loved him and slowly opened up. Jei didn’t believe him easily and thought Seojin had only changed because of everything that had happened recently. But Seojin explained that even before all of this, he had struggled to control his emotions like when he was staying at the hotel in Jeju Island, or when Jei went after Gisela and Seojin became so angry that he broke things.
Then came the turning point: Seojin was on his way to see Jei when he got into a car accident while they were talking on the phone. That accident made Jei realize that he didn’t want to live in a world without Seojin. If Seojin were gone, he felt like he would want to go with him too. That’s when they finally reconciled.
And then Seojin proposed to Jei, telling him that he wanted Jei to be his family. He wanted them to get married not simply because he loved him, but because he wanted them to be able to share their sadness with each other to become each other’s family in both happiness and grief.
