Even if they did talk, Jooeon is just too prideful for things to actually go smoothly...
Sometimes I forget, then he reminds me how much of a jerk he can be !
In this chapter, for example, he refers to Pilsang in a really harsh way in korean, thinking something like "why does a nobody like him try to define my feelings", which is especially cutting considering it’s the person he’s in love with (in denial, but still) ! And in chapter 47, he calls Pilsang a dumbass, so yeah...Jooeon still has a long way to go when it comes to letting go of his arrogance, and before that happens he wouldn't be able to keep Pilsang by his side !
Definitely; I wouldn't expect the feelings talk, more so if he didn't have to leave, pilsang likely wouldn't have said what he did, and we'd avoid the way this misunderstanding played out.
The thing that really does it for me is how outside of jooeon's own inner thoughts that remind us of his intentions, the fact is that he has been kind to pilsang. Jooeon's really just acting like an elementary school kid with a crush LMAO. Since the story has been focused on pilsang's development, I'm guessing from here on out we'll start seeing more on jooeon's side

NOOOO pilsang crying out of sadness should be illegal. This right here folks is why we hate work; they could've talked if not for jooeons j*b. Buckle up because the roller coasters going down
