@luvformery TJ is not an abuser. He never told the two guys to break Ian's legs. He told them to stall Ian at the bar and Ian was drunk and fought with the guys and jumped from the balcony and hurt his ankle that way. Tj joined the gang to be with yw, and then he wanted to become strong and powerful in the gang to protect YW from getting raped, tortured, drugged up by the likes of David Kim. Tj killed Mr. Jang to protect YW. Tj didn't through YW in jail, the law did bc he murdered in self defense, but the witness across the hall saw YW drag the gang member back in his house when he was trying to escape which throws away the self defense angle in court. So YW had to go go jail bc the prosecutors and judges decided that not TJ, bc they still live in a world with laws that have to be abided by or you go to jail, like bffr. Tj left YW after Jason's funeral to protect YW, so he wouldn't get involved in gang affairs, bc TJ thought that's what YW wanted and during that time he was under TJs protection from the sidelines. The time TJ was gone and Ian had his situationship with Jo, he couldn't stop thinking about TJ, longing for him, yearning for him bc he's been in love with him for 19 years.
