This has been the saddest chapter so far. Not just because Kim Dan's grandma is dying, but that too.
When Jaekyung says "I'll always be in your corner", Kim Dan glances at him with a flicker of hope, wanting for it to be a confession. But then Jaekyung says "I'm saying, you have my support" and that fragile hope is dashed, and Kim Dan starts bawling.
The thing is, if Jaekyung had even accidentally confessed at that moment, it would have cleared up the misunderstandings between them. But Jaekyung is trying to do the right thing, by supporting Kim Dan with no strings attached.
It's so sad. Kim Dan tried to protect himself with clearly laid out boundaries (with good reason) and Jaekyung is trying to respect that and support him unconditionally, and it's hurting them. It's this cycle of misunderstandings and unconfessed feelings.
