where is the cheating tag ? Ian cheated on jo with tj when he was asked to be in monogamous relationship with jo only ? I think it's easy to tell who is the endgame at this point innit? anyway jo dodged a bullet better end up alone than with a cheater .
Where in the story does Ian and Jo define their relationship? They never did. Ian was never Jo’s boyfriend. Jo asked Ian to only sleep with him during their camping trip, but Ian never answered because he had already passed out. There was no talks of commitment so there was no cheating. Jo signed up to be a fuck buddy and moved himself into Ian apartment during TJ’s absence. He knew his place.
weren't they only seeing each other when tj went MIA so it's pretty safe to call it a relationship innit??we saw ian questioning himself if they're dating or turning down ons with the other guy so I assumed they were. I meant he broke up with tj and started to spent more time with jo so it's basically a budding relationship atleast that's what I interpreted
Dating and being in a committed relationship is totally different. You’re free to date several people, but it’s another thing if you’ve decided to be in a committed relationship. Which Ian and Jo never talked about. Jo offered to be Ian’s fuck buddy even before TJ left. Then Jo never left Ian’s apt after the camping trip. If Ian’s sexual needs were being met on the daily he wouldn’t be looking for other hookups. It wasn’t a conscious decision on Ian’s part, but more like something he settled with and Jo took advantage of TJ’s absence. Ian was feeling lonely and dejected after TJ left and took comfort in Jo’s constant physical presence. During their cohabitation what did they learn about each other. Absolutely nothing. They maintained a surface level “relationship.” It wasn’t a situationship at best.
I wasn’t glazing Ian. Doyak said that Ian is the worst of the 3 characters and I agree. He totally used Jo to try to get over TJ. He took pleasure in other’s obsession over him because it fueled his self worth. But he also grew up abused and neglected so I can understand why he acts the way he does. He never lied to Jo about his feelings. Jo accepted that Ian was still in love with TJ and continued to pursue him. I’m not gonna blame Ian for being lonely and taking comfort in someone who chose to be there for him. It’s not cheating if they weren't together!!! And Ian never officially dated TJ either so he’s free to fuck whoever he wants too. But all that is in the past and they’re happily together now.
ya he is definitely worse . Author tried to sneak in a cheating trope under the guise of a non exclusive relationship with either of the ml it's very evident that's y he avoids talking about what he did behind jo's back with tj and vice versa cause he is guilty for leading them on . I think I would've loved an open ending where both of the ml were freed from his toxicity but as usual east asian authors thrive in toxicity and call it love.



The glow up is insane I was a bit skeptical at first so I had to check last few chapters out before i could continue .I must say artwork got improved so much later on I forgot how goofy dooshik looked .
