Coz then what was this for?? lmao..... (This was for baiting Jo/JoIan stans of course! 😌🤡) #WetSand

#WetSand Here’s my observation about something that happened in the story. Ian knows that TJ lied to him — I’m not the one saying it, TJ himself says it (“I lied to you about this and other things too”). So far, so good. If we have good memory (I even posted about this a while back), in the hospital chapter where Ian kisses TJ to shut him up, in Ian’s inner monologue he says something like: “Don’t say it or everything will be over” / “I know I’d be able to forgive you easily, but I wouldn’t be able to stand myself.” So, if TJ and Ian are the endgame (which is what it looks like), that leads me to two possibilities: 1) Ian already knows the full truth and still stays with TJ? If the answer is yes, then it breaks the narrative logic where Ian said that finding out the truth (and he was only referring to one at that moment — imagine knowing all the rest) would end everything. That wouldn’t be coming true. And if that’s the case, Ian would be carrying yet another wound because he himself said he wouldn’t be able to bear knowing the truth. Therefore, he wouldn’t have healed his trauma or his wounds at all. 2) If Ian, despite knowing TJ has lied to him, still prefers TJ to stay quiet, then Ian hasn’t learned anything — because that would just be sweeping the garbage under the rug. I’m sure he couldn’t live with the uncertainty of knowing there’s a truth out there (and it’s more than obvious that their relationship would then be built on lies). That would also break the story’s logic, which is Ian’s personal growth and overcoming his issues. In other words, he wouldn’t have healed his wounds either, because knowing there are lies involved could be painful and end up destroying that relationship. And there’d be that eternal distrust of “what if…” On the other hand, we’ve seen that Ian never lies. So the idea in his inner monologue that “coming back when I can finally reach you” was a lie to himself… Up until now, all the promises Ian made to Jo have been kept: “Let’s go to the camp, you promised me,” “We’ll come back someday” (and they did, even under bad circumstances), “I’ll come back” (and he did). The only promise he broke was the one about leaving together, but he made himself another promise: to come back when he’s already “within reach” of Jo. Seriously, is he really not going to keep that one? Anyway, this is just an observation. At the end of the day, this is only a manhwa and @dkbyak can do whatever they want with it. I just wanted to point out this curiosity.

#wetsand You know what Ian keeping Toby close while pushing Jo away is diabolical. She lost her baby being involved with Ian and the gang. TJ was the trigger of events leading to her miscarriage and now she has to deal with him being Ian's boyfriend? My girl can't catch a break.
