I've read like 10 comments hating on the story and none of them said something like "Ian still thinking of Jo", I'm impressed.
I'll stick with my thoughts that Author decided to change the ending (not the endgame) to help herself a lot of headaches because there's things that simply just don't match with how the story was treated before, but I think I'm soft enough by seeing them happy and alive and unworried that I can see pass those things.
About the chapter, for a moment I genuinely thought that the reservation was with Jo, like an throuple ending and it would've been a surprise, but I'm kinda glad it didn't, although I hope Jo finds happiness one day.
I'm so curious for my girl Cali being mentioned again. TJ sold the house and I don't think he has the incomes to buy it again, probably. So I wonder what TJ wants to say in there, why can't he say it here.
If I thought I'd be reading people saying YW still thinks of Jo is because the stargazing and the cuddles by the fire. I can't assure YW isn't thinking of him, but I think that what he loved the most about Jo was the normalcy he brought to his life, that feeling that he could have that too, and the yearning of not having that with TJ back then when he desperately craved it. So I'm glad that with Jo, Yw has learned that he could enjoy all those things too, in the way he always wanted now.
Tbh, I'll have time to bitch about the time skip and all the problems suddenly being solved, but this was the ending I wanted. That panel about the motorbike was beautiful, no further words needed to show they're healing. The only bitter piece, and the one to deserves the clinic dissection the most, was the scar disappearing, because the line between healing and pretending shit never happened is too thin (no pun intended). The motorbike and Cali being brought back make me think it's the first option though, healing.
And TJ being so soft and clingy... My baby boy I'm in tears, he's so free being able to show how in love he is. If we don't get any extra, I won't ever forgive Doyak for not allowing TJ the relief of saying he loves YW out loud.
Maybe that's what he wants to say in Cali? Oml I'm so emotional. I'm sorry for the ranting

I've rooted for TJYW from the very beginning. Their bond was so complicated and painful, and so full of miscommunication and misunderstanding that I couldn't help it. I wanted them to talk, to be honest with themselves and each other for once, and if after they said everything that had been bottling up for a decade they decided they weren't each other's place, I was gonna accept it, despite I love them.
So, I think I am happy with the ending?
I always said that I wanted the full angst, knowing I'll be having a happy ending. But this... I can't even imagine how exhausting writing a manwha is, less when whatever you do, you'll have half of the fandom at your throat, calling you things in the best scenario. So this isn't about criticizing Doyak because I can say how much she cares about the characters, but... I don't know, it feels as if a lot of things were hinted along the way to never be addressed again.
I felt so sorry for the way Jo ended up suffering, but I was expecting something else for him? Like, why all his background hunting the rabbit? Why to bring up the gun again, him putting it on his case? Why to show him spiraling dangerously downu? I genuinely thought we were going to see darker layers of him and I was so ready for that. But not only that, I felt like there were a lot of things that were trimmed and rushed for the three characters, and given the level of depth and detail put in seasons 1 and 2, I can't help but think the reason for Doyak to do this was to help herself with the aggressive fandom she gathered,.and it makes me so sad and mad.
I haven't been part of the fandom in over a year, but I remember it heavily ruining my experience every update because of how toxic it was.
So yeah... I got the ending I wanted but it felt kind of bittersweet in the wrong way. When I'm ready I'll read it again and I hope the early emotion it made me feel are still there till the end this time(':
