Last take: I skimmed through the last chapter like it's a virus, lol. Jaehyuk seemed to be really eager to not hide away his feelings. But then again, that's just being insensitive, still. He's partly aware of why he thinks Garam is reacting that way, but not fully understand his feelings. Imma rescind my claim that he's still thinking as if he's dating "normally". He at least knew that, LOL, my bad. He just felt like it because of how stubborn he is.
Jaehyuk's confidence and straightforwardness came from his ignorance of how it was like living as "not normal" for other people. However, one can say that he simply doesn't understand because he's still navigating that path. He's still thinking as if it's as "normal" as dating someone, the same way he did with girls. Props to being non-gender biased, but he should also realize that he's being a hypocrite, LOL. He's someone who hasn't been hiding before, and neither will he now. To conclude, he's a singleminded, insensitive prick. While Garam is the opposite. He's afraid of what other people are gonna say. He doesn't want to relive his trauma. Tbf, I think he's unknowingly projecting his worries onto Jaehyuk's idiotic resolve. Cannot blame him tho. That's just how gruesome being labeled "different" by the norm is. Something that Jaehyuk hasn't still experienced.
I understand that, and so as the other readers, because we're aware as we can see and read Garam's growing anxiety and fears. Obviously, Jaehyuk doesn't. He doesn't know and so, he frustratingly tried to squeeze that information from Garam. Cortisol level on red.
They're both confused. Garam's action did not help one bit. Nor his words. Telling someone he's wrong doesn't really explain why they're wrong. He's afraid, but he should know that he is in a relationship. People really shouldn't be making choices when they're overwhelmed by emotions. I definitely do not like how Jaehyuk's cornering Garam into deciding on what path their relationship is going. That's just cruel. But then again, I cannot completely blame him as he's just frustrated and lost, not understanding what he did wrong and not backing up.
IN SHORT, THEY'RE BOTH WRONG. THEY LACK COMMUNICATION AND TRUST WITH EACH OTHER. They're just not even trying to understand where each other were coming from. So please, people, do not ever get into a relationship if you cannot fully understand each other.
TO CONCLUDE MY COMMENT (just my frustrations for both of them, but I still wanna read it but can't stomach how intense their fight escalated), they should just talk. They should just calm the f down and TALK. If not, they really should take a breather away from each other and reassess their relationship.
PS. Imma leave it here and hope the next time I reread this, it's gonna be a WELL-WRITTEN RECONCILIATION. Hoping for the talk and tons of apologies (towards each other).
