The arc with the prison has not yet been revealed, but it is obvious that TJ did this to protect Ian because before that someone tried to kill him. The author in the new chapters has already made it clear that Youngwoo’s safety has always been and will be his priority. TJ is even ready to die for him. Yes, and he told him to leave because it’s dangerous now. And do you know what Ian did? He said he wanted to be close to him. So what freedom is TJ denying?
One thing Jo fans can't accept is that there are no villains in this story. Joseph, for example, imposes his ideals and lifestyle on others, manipulates through guilt to become friends and then screams for more, constantly thinks about who Ian is sleeping with. Isn't this toxic? So why are you silent about the fact that Jo is a red flag but at the same time attacking other characters? YOU SHOULD STOP BEING SO HYPOCRITICAL.
