I get both sides but I'm surprisingly impressed by Jaehyuk's decision to pause the discussion because it's usually not a good idea to keep arguing when both parties are so heated.
They might end up hurting each other even more if they don't deescalate / wait until they feel less emotional.
But at the same time, Garam might perceive his attitude as flippant, since... well, history.
I wonder what J could've done/said to assure G that he only wanted to take a brief break to consider G's perspective and then revisit the topic.
Or is G putting space between them more out of fear J will self-sabotage than out of fear for himself?
Does he think J is too love drunk around him? I mean, the story is called "Can't Even Think Straight" (in English, anyway).
And tbf, J's brain did kinda seemingly just freeze in the middle of their conversation with his friends before the process flow in his brain decided: "F it, too hard, just come clean, it'll be fine" without considering his partner, long-term consequences, etc. (talk about privileged, hahaha).
Still, J has recently proven to G repeatedly that he's willing to change and grow specifically for him, so I can't help but feel G should try to be a little more patient and kind toward him.
Finding someone who is willing to change that drastically out of love is not only a rare (borderline mythical) gift, but obviously it means G means the world to J, too.
If you're really concerned about how that dumb oaf is going to blab while happy (ish), what the hell's gonna happen when he finds himself unexpectedly dumped?
By the love of his life? Especially given his history of being Extra just to get Garam's attention.
I half expect that himbo to start wearing mascara just so Garam will see he's been crying, bwahaha.
