I still believe the right thing was to accept 49%, because he's kim dokja.
I still believe that han sooyoung misunderstood the split completely, what we read from the original epilogue was a reconstruction she did with what little info she had, the truth disappeared with 51%.
My theory is that Kim Dokja that day wanted to leave, and desperately, and thought the only way he had to leave: "how much of myself do I have to leave behind?"
and the side stories have told us that you need the majority to administer the oldest dream, so once you do the math, the minimum requirement had to be 51%.
and that would mean that 49% wasn't the substitute, but the maximum amount of himself kim dokja could allow to leave, that would mean he was the concentrate of what kim dokja wanted to desperately save of himself, to give it a tomorrow.
that would also change why 51% was dissolving: maybe once he read how kimcom treated 49%, the part of himself he wanted to save, 51% tried to dissolve himself as a last ditch effort to protect 49%, because if the issue was that there were 2 kim dokja, then he'd dissolve himself until only one kim dokja remained, the part of himself for once he wanted to survive.
and when in the side stories kim dokja woke up in the hospital, he was only a 41% made of fragments of 51%, not a single part of 49%.
then what did he do? he looked for the missing fragments, because he refused to return home as he was
it's not stated, but my theory would be that the reason he left was to recover 49%, because it was the part of kim dokja he valued the most.
And the relationship between Eldest, the first fragment of that shattered 41% who was once 51%, and Lee hakhyun, the last fragment of 49%.
eldest had planned to protect hakhyun with everything, even if it meant let eventually hakhyun absorb him, he never saw him as lesser, on the contrary he valued him too much.
i think we'll get a big reveal in the ending of the side stories, maybe I'm wrong, but it lines up.
and that would be the saddest part, because that would mean the part of kim dokja kimcom rejected was the part of himself kim dokja valued the most.
