That one post in X saying Jake should be under red flag too because he dug up info of Shin, wiretapped him, set cameras...
EXCUSEEEE ME!??!
Are we seriously comparing an elite undercover agent to leads who SAed their partners out of jealousy?
Of course, he would dig info and trail. That's PART. OF. HIS. JOB,
Back in those early chapters when Jake sent him to work to the garage, Shin found out his resume was already submitted, they had a drink and Shin asked if he trusted him now after digging his info up. Jake answered “Not yet. I’ll figure you out in my own way and you should do the same with me. Legal means or not”
Basically, letting Shin know he would keep digging and giving permission for Shin to do the same.
And when Shin first found out the truth, Jake told him gangs were coming for him and it would be safer if he stayed inside, but he never forced him. Jake just said, “Once you walk out that door, I won’t be able to protect you.” He could’ve locked him in. Tied him down, but he didn't. He only stepped in when he couldn’t stand the worry anymore that's when he showed up at that motel where Shin was staying.
His methods might not be conventional, but we really have to look at the full context to understand who Jake is. It would be completely out of character if Jake trusted Shin blindly from the start and never kept watch. And, even if he has his info and videos, he never used it against Shin. Remember, Jake character is really called alien and 'he has no emotions' and cares for nothing except complete his mission.
That’s what Rolfe, Caesar, and Izmel warned him about. The old Jake would’ve walked away, especially when Shin got tangled with Ross. Instead, he claimed Shin as his “person/gang wife” to shield him, risking his mission.
Basically, Jake started to tread carefully between mission and obsession, until the line separating the two blurred. The important thing is, in the previous chapter, Shin literally gave his permission and told Jake he'll let him know if he needs to stop.
Jake isn't your expressive top but he's definitely a green flag.
