Of course Dohyun acts different in this story compared to the prequel, the dynamics were vastly different. That story was a few years ago and he's obviously older now who wants to be with someone younger, he wants to act more mature rather than being seen on the cuter side cuz he's younger. It's as simple as someone acting when they're with an older partner vs being the older one in the relationship. It's even said in here that he's putting on airs now that he's the older one/sunbae in the department but acts different when with other sunbaes older than him, that's normal. Some people in the comsec act as though they stay the same whether they're with older or younger people, ever heard of code switching? ALSO it's obvious he's doing it so much bcs he wants to have the edge in the relationship with Wooyeon, acting more mature and like he's always in control is his way of keeping Wooyeon on his toes. It's stupid but you can't really blame him, as he's said back when he was Wooyeon's age he liked someone (MC of Omega Trauma) but quickly got over them in about a month or two. He's definitely worried Wooyeon will also do the same. Not to mention, all his baggage and insecutities abt being an orphan and Wooyeon being from a rich family, he's definitely desperate to keep Wooyeon focused on him by always edging him and keeping him on his toes.
I do hate him right now tho, I understand why he's doing what he's doing but I need a desperate ML who chases after MC, not all these mental gymnastics and games. I feel like if there'll be a chasing arc it wouldn't even be that long or yearnmaxxing (lmao) cuz Yeon is def gonna forgive that mf faster than you can say Mississippi.
