Crossing my fingers

After these vignettes of Jaeyi's past, the most likely outcome is him being avoidant. But the most immediate reaction is angry (Jaeyi's side) sex. I'm crossing my fingers that won't happen because Ideum is precious and I'll be sad if Jaeyi of all people hurts him for something Jaeyi is personally dealing with. I hope Jaeyi used that time, he was waiting for Ideum, for some good rational thinking. He seems like a smart guy (books and streets). Hopefully, the angst and all it encompasses will be handled carefully without ruining Jaeyi's honor and humanity or setting Ideum's progress back to zero.
