I think its called borderline because Mok has Borderline personality disorder.
the main traits of someone with bpd are; impulsivity, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, recurrent suicidal behavior, unstable self image, and anger issues.
Impulsivity and anger issues: Whenever he makes an irrational or irresponsible decision, his eyes are very dilated. theres no thinking about his actions until afterwards. he doesnt really care about how he makes people feel. he doesnt seem to have episodes of mania but he does seem to have episodes of depression like hes in now where he makes irrational decisions and overreacts about everything. hes a dopamine junkie, sex is his quickest way to feel good.
Fear of abandonment: nanjo is his favorite person. hes obsessed with him, doing everything for him or to even get him to look at him. hes afraid of abandonment, hes obsessed with keeping nanjo around him, even when hes uncomfortable and wants nothing to do with mok.
Unstable self image and recurrent suicidal behavior: hes self destructive and a bit narcissistic while having low self esteem at the same time. it seems like he kind of views people like assets or accessories for what he wants. we see his impulsive behaviors and even physical behaviors as a form of self harm. you could say his self destructive-ness is his self harm even when hes not physically hurting himself, hes doing something to harm himself.
Unstable relationships: hes almost apathetic to someone hes known for a decade, not because sunhwa did anything wrong, but like he got in the way of him and nanjo. and it seems like he cant keep friends for long because of his self destructive-ness. hes manipulative, he doesn't know when to stop and crosses boundaries like they don't exist. he doesn't even really have boundaries of his own. he has a weird relationship with nanjo and had a weird relationship with sunhwa in the first place. its like he cant build normal connections if it doesn't fuel him somehow.
