OMG!!! I know this is something that's like suuuuper obvious, but I don't know why it wasn't clicking until rn
Kayden Motherfucking Break chose Jiwoo because Jiwoo helped him.
And you might ask, funky, yes we all know that, why are you saying this?
Well, dear fellow readers, you don't understand my vision.
Kayden wanted to get stronger, but here comes this kid, who to his knowledge is a w e a k l i n g that helps a cat because he can't stand other people suffering.
Kayden saw Jiwoo at a disadvantage fight for a cat, one that wasn't even his pet. It was a stray that he had fed a few times.
He saw Jiwoo fight for this cat. He saw him get hurt. he saw this reckless kid who just wanted to protect a cat be put in a VERY dangerous situation. What if Kayden saw himself in Jiwoo.
What if Kayden started fighting and gaining power because he wanted to protect something or someone. What if he wanted someone to protect him, and he sees Jiwoo as a way to protect Kaydens "younger self?" What if HE wanted to protect Jiwoo because he wanted to help this kid who very clearly has no idea what he has gotten himself into, so he sticks by him so he could protect Jiwoo in a way he wished to be protected.
Kayden is a very lonely person and Jiwoo is too, but together they help each other by being there for each other. Kayden helps Jiwoo because he has someone to look for protection, and no shade on Jiwoos mom but, she wasn't there. She wasn't there to protect Jiwoo from bullies or loneliness. So Kayden, having his back, protecting him from people that Jiwoo wouldn't be able to defeat otherwise, helps Jiwoo have a dad. Or at least a parental figure.
Jiwoo helps Kayden in the way that he gives him a purpose. Kaydens main purpose before was to become strong and just fight people, and that is a very lonely path to take. Taking care of Jiwoo, having Jiwoos well being in the forefront, helped Kayden not be alone. Kayden has someone to take care of, someone that has no expectations for him, and someone that is so very reckless. Kayden can start to see that the world is much bigger than being the strongest, he has someone that needs his care. And I don't mean this in a way that is like, oh poor Jiwoo, my little meow meow, I mean this in a way that Jiwoo is still a teenager. Teenagers, no offense, still need love and care from adults. Teenagers need someone that will help them be better people. And that ladies and gentlemen is my point.
Jiwoo helps Kayden become a better person.
And Kayden helps Jiwoo be a stronger person.
Boom. Mic drop.
