After having watched the first 4 eps from the second season, I really don’t think the reason for Ji Woo leaving matters as much as the aftermath of it.
I was just thinking what if he left on a similar note to the first season or cause he felt he didn’t fit in Seo Joon’s life and that he was a burden for him? And I remember thinking it would be so stupid. But the thing is lack of self-worth most of the time makes us draw some stupid, unrealistic conclusions. So it would be really realistic if they went that route.
And I want Seo Joon to scold him about how stupid it all is and how angry he is for having been given up on for such a stupid reason. And for Ji Woo to explain it was a ever-present thought haunting him through their day-to-day life, it didn’t feel stupid, it felt inevitable and it scared him so so much. Cause they are very different people in the way they deal with emotions.
But Seo Joon needs to also let Ji Woo know that he would’ve wanted to fight for their relationship together, not to be abandoned so easily and to end up wondering out loud how much did he even matter to Ji Woo in the first place. He needs to let Ji Woo know the ball’s in his court now and whatever he decides to do, that will be it. Cause even though he loves him, he has no power in changing the way Ji Woo perceived things and consequently deals with them. And Ji Woo needs to figure himself out, maybe get more confident professionally, just so that he can start to feel that he could stand on a slightly more equal footing with Seo Joon and then try and get him back. And I don’t mean grand romantic gestures, I mean just being a presence in his life again, willingly, communicating, opening up to him, letting him know that he’s willing to do this for him, to truly prove he loved him and if given another chance, if ever Seo Joon was ready, he would not waste it again
Tl/dr: Ji Woo needs to learn to open up if he actually wants to have a future with Seo Joon. But first he needs to allow himself to believe he is worthy of him, and that might end up being a hard, yet beautiful journey.
