- cheoljin taking the textbooks from minwoo to avoid minwoo following him because he doesn't want minwoo to see where he lives - minwoo still thinks cheoljin has a "harmonious family" but cheoljin's parents are clearly absent or something (there is no one "waiting" for him at home) - when minwoo asks if cheoljin needs to go home cheoljin takes it as minwoo not wanting him there -- he's very insecure! so him "teasing" minwoo is also him trying to confirm minwoo's affections for him, trying to get minwoo to say that he wants him there. - this is a core source of miscommunication (for later minwoo) because (later, angry) minwoo sees chealjin's teasing as pure manipulation but for cheoljin it's also coming out of insecurity and a need for confirmation - cheoljin has an uneasy relationship with physical attraction towards him! he knows ppl desire him physically, he knows what to "offer" to people; he thinks that's one of the only things he can provide. he clearly knows minwoo is physically attracted to him, but I think he might think minwoo just wants him physically (hence him being a bit ??? when minwoo asks him to sleep over), - cheoljin is a FOXXXXX but also a bunny and also a scared mouse
