If anything comes between them, I think it will be external forces. I think hajun is 100% honest in his feelings for danwoo.
He doesn't seem to get along too well with his family from what little we've seen, dismissing whoever dropped him off at school that one time, and now returning early. Just the fact that he seemed desperate to live with danwoo at the start also makes me believe that.
Perhaps he is repressed gay? Hiding who he really is from those around him. People seem to approach hajun for his handsome face and popular personality, but how many of those people know who he really is? His family probably doesn't. Maybe this is why when he found someone so blatantly honest (even if drunk) +really attractive like danwoo, he jumped at the opportunity to be himself?
Maybe he will try to keep danwoo away from his private life/family, and that will drive a wedge between them since danwoo seems really insecure. If hajun's family is well off, that will also probably make danwoo feel small and unworthy (he already kind of feels that way). Not to mention details of danwoo's past that he may not want to share with hajun for one reason or another.
Theres also the question of the title and the cover image itself. "Playmate" seems to just be because they play a lot of games together, hajun is very energetic and uses the wording when they have sex. The cover image is interesting because danwoo is holding a leash connected to a collar hajun is wearing, which is why I think hajun is being honest, he is over energetic and the only one that can keep him complacent is danwoo.
But also! Danwoo is holding another leash in his hands, that come together to make a heart with the blue one. This other leash isn't connected to anything because danwoo isn't wearing a collar himself, and I know this because on the author's twitter, a new cover art was posted, where we can see that danwoo is holding 2 leashes but isn't wearing a collar himself. In this new cover, the second collar is laying on the ground next to him.
I take this to mean that danwoo holds both leashes together since him and hajun are the playmates, even if he's not wearing the collar. Danwoo is the one that holds the relationship together? He sees himself outside of the relationship? Maybe he's too insecure to have the collar on, and give hajun hold over his leash? Hajun seems happy either way.
I'm overthinking this probably, but I think their relationship will face challenges not because one is secretly a cheater or a scumbag, but because they are both hiding certain things from each other!
