hi anon thank u so much for reading the chapter! i don't really think that many people hate johnny. they're (rightfully!) calling him out for reacting poorly and saying rather mean things to jaehyun. i kinda think u missed the whole point of the conversation johnjae had at the end of chapter 2. jaehyun has every right to talk about mark bc mark is his friend (and johnny's too!) and he wasn't pushing anything to johnny about spending mark's rut with him. johnny reacted badly on his own and even acknowledged that his reaction wasn't cool. he apologized for it too and jaehyun accepted that!

it's totally fine if u feel bad for johnny, but there are multiple reasons why jaehyun is kinda avoiding him. he did not ghost him--they still text and have talked on the phone between the events of chapter 2 and 3! jaehyun is allowed to take a step back after johnny hurt his feelings and johnny understands that, even if it's sad for both of them.

johnny has a lot of shit to work thru on his own and so does jaehyun! but they will get there and figure things out eventually so they can be together! :)
