Comment by MasterOft on Wet Sand - Chapter 100

@MasterOft Before learning about TJ, Jo wasn't so ambitious to win Ian over. Once he found out, he became even more ambitious and childishly revealed his true intentions. He thought he could erase their 20-year history with a few moves. In one episode, Ian and TJ even had a fight; TJ left the house, and Ian chased after him, crying. TJ was actually waiting around the corner, but Ian didn't know this because Jo intercepted him. Jo knew that TJ was waiting for him and that Ian was chasing after him, crying. Jo used the excuse of not allowing them to see each other, saying, "If you love Ian, you'll leave him alone," but in reality, Ian couldn't get TJ out of his mind from the beginning. Ian was always worse off without TJ, and Jo couldn't understand this. He always thought TJ was forcing Ian into his life. But no matter how much he gave Ian freedom, Ian always found TJ. They were like magnets; they had each other etched into their souls, seeing each other wherever they looked. Jo's childish ambition delayed their meeting that day; if they had talked that day, all the problems would have been solved. The biggest problem for this couple was that they hadn't spoken or communicated for 20 years. Finally, they overcame that obstacle and reunited. Sometimes it takes 20 years to learn certain lessons.

@alexabeaux I agree with everything! I have no doubts about Ian's feelings. I'm convinced that even if he miraculously ended up with Jo, he wouldn't stop thinking about Tj. I'm more concerned that people consider Tj x Ian a toxic relationship. And it's like you said, it took them a long time to sit down and talk things out loud. So, to me, it's a healthy, slowly developing relationship. Nothing more. (Still ignoring the gangster scene)
I see a few "no" emojis. Where did this reaction come from? I'm curious about your perspective.
