yeah, jae is doing too much and thats why garam is scared. You dont actually need to cut everything, but I don't think it was on purpose; he didn't do it on purpose. It's because the family genuinely believes that his relationship won't last (bc of his past, anyone will think thah lol), whether he's with a man or a woman, because they actually saw a positive change in Jae despite everything, lol, And about the job, Garam did look angry and uncomfortable about it, and Jae didn’t take that job seriously, he just wanted to show off for his boyfriend. I also don’t think it was a “I LOST EVERYTHING FOR YOU, LOVE ME” kind of decision; it was just a string of coincidences, but it’s not as drastic as it looks or as jae says, lol.
