I hate stories like this because the conflict only exists if the characters stop acting like rational adults. Imagine proposing to someone, they say yes, and instead of being happy your immediate reaction is “They probably don't love me.” At some point it stops being insecurity and starts feeling ridiculous. Especially when the other person has spent the entire story proving how much they care.
Honestly, I'm starting to question whether Jaeha actually loves Taegun as much as the story wants us to believe. Taegun's desires have never been complicated. He just wants to come home to Jaeha, talk to him, and build a life together. Yet Jaeha can't even give him that. Every time Taegun tries to have a conversation, understand what's wrong, or work through a problem together, Jaeha's response is to hide things, run away, or make decisions on his behalf. If these were teenagers, I'd understand. But this is a grown man who was running a company. How are his communication skills this bad?
And don't even get me started on the revenge plot. Even if Taegun wanted revenge, Jaeha taking it upon himself to carry it out makes no sense. Revenge only means something when it's sought by the person who was actually wronged. Instead, Jaeha constantly treats Taegun like a child who can't make his own decisions. He'll get revenge for him, lie to him, keep secrets from him, disappear without explanation, all under the excuse of "protecting" him.
The most frustrating part is the hypocrisy. Jaeha left Su-Min because he couldn't tolerate being lied to and betrayed, yet he turns around and does the exact same thing to his own husband. Ghosting someone, abandoning them, and making major decisions behind their back isn't somehow better just because your intentions are good.
At this point the story keeps telling me Jaeha loves Taegun, but his actions keep showing the opposite. Make it make sense
