I love the story and the romance, just wish it focused more in the psychological aspect of miyeon. Unpopular opinion on the romance, I like it but I don’t think in the future they could really work together. Juho has the role of a caretaker and not a lover, “don’t hide things from me” doesn’t feel romantic, it feels like he wants to make sure she doesn’t get bad again, and you can love someone and want to care of them, but juho’s image of miyeon is completely tainted with the times when he had to act as a caretaker and that’s really hard to forget, he will be constantly afraid of miyeon getting bad again or losing her memory and it’s hard to be in a relationship like that. We don’t really know what juho wants for his life because he just thinks of her and acts surrounding her. There is obviously a piece of her memory missing regarding the fire and the fact that juho is still holding back and not telling the whole truth just makes me distrust him. I know there is probably a reason why he is not telling it, but it looks like he just doesn’t trust that she can deal with the truth. I think this is a story about growth, memory and letting go, and at the end, when they both grow and find things they really want to do, I don’t know if they could work together. Right now the do need each other but it’s a very childish need. This is just my opinion, feel free to express yours
I absolutely agree with you! They clearly have positive feelings for each other. Maybe they even love each other, though I think Juhos love is a different one from Miyeons love at this point. I believe Juhos took care of her all this time because of guilt. He wasn't there for her when she needed him most (fire incident). Maybe that led him to promise to never leave her alone again. So he became her caretaker. All these years of reading her mood, taking care of her basic needs and every whim, coaxing her to eat, preventing her from committing suicide.. etc. Year after year. That does something to a person, I think. I got the impression that he likes being needed by her though. There were hints here and there in the manwha. Only because of him is she still alive and well today. His sole role atm is the caretaker. The sinner. The repentant. Not the lover.
I'm sure he loves her still. In his own way though. Not passionately. After all these years of taking care of her every struggle, I don't think you can still be crazy in love. Not when the whole situation stems from his guilt in the first place.
The biggest obstacle for their future relationship will be trust issues in my opinion. A relationship doesn't run solely on feelings. They change, they run out. A relationship lasts in the end because of mutual trust and respect and that all the little memories people had together formed a tight bond.
At this point he is still the caretaker. As you said, he will have trust issues for some time, fearing that she will get bad again, that she will forget their time together and forget him, again and again. He will continue to read the mood, fix the mood. Prioritize her needs over his, over and over again. That's actually a prime example for a toxic relationship.
For them to work, I believe we need a time skip. Where he can pursue his dreams and become his own person again. He needs to stop being the caretaker and become just Juho again. Only then should they try to date, if that is what they both still want then. I wouldn't be mad if they found they better just stay as friends! Because that's how life is sometimes.

Completely agree with everything you said. I also think he knows that pursuing a romantic relationship is not the wisest decision right now, but he still yearns for it so he can remember how things were when they were younger. I think he does like being the only person she can rely on and that can get very toxic very quick. Also yes, the time skip is necessary
