before this plot point, the only one he was closest to was Dal Dal, and that's only because she's DAMN persistent in sticking to him like glue.
Well, considering his hang ups and the problems he's dealt with in his life so far: isn't "I decided I like you, so I'm going to stay with you no matter what" exactly the thing he would be most attracted to in a woman?
In that sense, as the one that will support him, that he'll never have to worry about being abandoned or left behind; in that sense she's the Best Heroine for him.
Like, considering his home life, he's at least ten years away from living for the sake of his own happiness, and by then, it will be time for him to seriously think about having his own children; considering that, a woman that's "stubborn" or "enduring" as her primary trait is the best match for his life.
Dal Dal might not be great shakes at "playing mommy" for those two kids, but she'd drag her own mother in to play "grandma", right? Getting an adult to support him as a mentor is probably the one thing Jae Gu needs more than anything, so Dal Dal shamelessly asking her mother to help without usurping his role as "parent" would be a huge boon to him.
In conclusion, Dal Dal is the best Heroine.
