I get where both of them are coming from. With his mom's declining health, she wouldn't be able to manage the restaurant for long. Ofc, she would be concerned about her son's future. But, gaslighting and discouragement is not what Jinwoo needs. It would just create walls and make Jinwoo uncomfortable around her and feel like he's all alone. I feel so bad for him rn that I hope in the next chapter, Taeyoung could be a friend he could talk to
I can cook to help him to, ahem, sustain his beautiful body.
On a serious note, is his curse linked to Sajun's corrupted state in his past life?
