Honestly, I think the reaction of all three of them is very coherent. I don't see any of them as truly to blame. It was all a complicated game that got out of hand. Mok should have kept quiet. He didn't have to say those things right after doing that. Nanjo was hesitating; he wasn't sure what he wanted anymore. It was the moment to strengthen their bond, not to mess things up like that.
Hitting him doesn't seem as drastic as some people are saying, considering they're men. Nanjo just wanted to go apologize to Suah. He didn't yell at Mok, he didn't confront him about what he did; he just wanted to leave, calm down, and reflect. Perhaps alone and quiet, he would have understood better what to do about Mok and Suah. But for Mok to say those things to him, as if controlling what he should feel and what he should do, after everything he'd given up for Mok, and just when he was full of doubts and starting to consider Mok... Considering that he doesn't know, nor does he believe, that Suah is a gold-digging slut, for Mok to say that to him, as if manipulating him and telling him what he should feel or do... He must have thought that he'd lied to him the whole time for him own benefit, and he reached his limit. His anger at such shamelessness is understandable. For Nanjo, things were very confusing, and Mok let himself be carried away by jealousy.
But Mok didn't act maliciously either; he's in love and has that need for attachment, that fear of being abandoned. That's why at the beginning he was seen avoiding falling in love, because it's clear that it's a great need that destroys him, and with Nanjo, he fell completely, as we saw episode by episode. He has no dignity; it's part of his upbringing trauma. He doesn't want to lose the people he's grown to love, and that led him to act desperately. And given Nanjo's confusion, telling him that instead of letting him go was a mistake. But an understandable mistake given his situation.
And Suah, from the beginning, it was clear he's promiscuous and libertine, a freeloader. But this time he's right. They had agreed to play with open relationships, not to commit to anyone. Nanjo was just the sugar daddy; he wasn't really interested in him, and Mok is his friend and sexual partner. He let him in and implied that it wasn't the first time Mok had done something like this in their threesomes. I don't think he really cares if Mok loves Nanjo; he's simply fed up with the situation and wants nothing to do with Nanjo. And for him to ask him to call Nanjo, when he's been avoiding him the whole time, is shameless.
