One of the cultural differences between the leads is that many things get lost in translation yet the leads characters also matter. Jungo is an introvert (cultural or personal) but he is not the initiator in the relationship. Every time Hong kisses him or hugs him, he gets surprised. PDA is not really a thing in Japan so that is understandable but Jungo doesn’t talk. He is only thinking his actions matter. If only he talked about his plans, his differences and his culture, their love would have lasted.
Why do I have a feeling that he will bring them together instead🤔
Depends on the letter itself imo. We need to see what Jungo wrote in it and IF the FL is ready to move back towards him. I think the miscommunication is the issue but also the leads don’t know what they want. Jungo takes a step forward only to meet the FL passing by.
Seems like Hong finally decided to move!
