It's frustrating when author don't put an actual miscommunication for drama put smack a lazy misunderstanding and still going on without the characters asking that damn question what's actually the damn misunderstanding.
you have to remember that when chaeheon tried to speak to him after that, jeongyoon ran away & completely avoided him even though they were normal the night before. the only possible reason in chaehyun's mind would be that jeongyoon remembers & wants to avoid him because of it.
That's exactly my point. He just assumed instead of grabbing him by the collar and actually asking him why he was avoiding him. There were so many opportunities to ask but instead he said "Did you really forget or are you pretending you did?" If a person actually forgot something they wouldn't understand a question like that
yeah but he wouldnt let jeongyoon respond, sometimes ppl will ask out of bitterness rather than asking straight up & even tho its frustrating for us as the readers, it makes a lot of sense for chaeheon to want to avoid being rejected twice tbh seeing as how desperate he is for even a little affection, especially since the way jeongyoon avoided him last time was probably traumatizing as he was under the impression that since yoonie was smiling & kissing him back they wld b closer the next day. its quite human of him, & the way the author wrote out yoonies inner monologue clarifies that chaeheon gave him multiple chances to indirectly confirm or deny it but yoonie never said anything yk? as annoying as it is, this miscommunication trope is done quite well imo :]
jus realized how ranty my reply is lol sry abt that <3
"Pretending you forgot." My man, ask him if he actually forgot it. He was drunk when you guys did it for the first time. It's very common for drunk people to forget what they did while drunk. Don't go assuming that he's just pretending and properly ask him "Do you remember the time we touched each other?"
I'm taking this way too personal (づ￣ ³￣)づ
