honestly i dislike seeing people frustrated and talking shit about the manhwa or even the author?? (mind you this is only the artist, this is from a novel too) or complaining about their miscommunication and every problem they have when it's clear their relationship is built around that; they never not even once really tried to understand the other and have a heart to heart conversation about their fears, insecurities or true feelings, whether it was love or fear.
so can you really blame them now? everything is shit atp bc they got to this point without talking and just assumed how the other felt; let's be honest, this relationship wasn't going to be all fluffy and honest, at least not for now.

ok so spoilers of the novel (and from what i remember bc i couldnt wait)

in the next chapters, joohwan is going to be totally heartbroken and overwhelmed, believing that the only way he can have sihyun is if they have sex and keep twisting their relationship. sihyun gets scared and starts crying bc joohwan is treating him differently so now he's scared he's going to leave him(?
once joohwan realizes, he lets go of sihyun and i think he put him a blindfold or something like that. the things is, sihyun is extremely insecure and doesn't believe in words like "love" due to his trauma and how he was neglected as a child, he believed he was unworthy of love and he was dirty bc he was a bastard child. they talk about this and about every single misconception they had about each other. joohwan really tells him how bad he loves him and how much he deserved to be loved too because he's his princess and he's beautiful and so on. sihyun doesn't believe him that easily but after a lot of reassurance he tells joohwan that he loves him too. (づ￣ ³￣)づ and i think there's a mini arc later on, anyway, the whole marriage thing is not real and it was only for convenience; i can't remember if it happened or not, but they're happy nonetheless.
