ok but before we get to psychoanalyzing cheoljin do we not think the sex scenes are hot...minwoo being ALPHa when he tells cheoljin to open his mouth so he can kiss him (remember in the past cheoljin would tell minwoo to open his mouth when he was teaching him how to kiss, the REVERSAL yum)..cheoljin finally getting hot and bothered and into it and actually VOICING HIS DESIRES wowww. minwoo literally trying to carry cheoljin to have wallsex because he think of cheoljin as a delicate beautiful girl lmao
imo pretty straightforward why cheoljin is lying? minwoo is literally begging cheoljin to tell him the rumors are untrue, and cheoljin doesn't want minwoo to hate him. remember in prior chapters minwoo said that he KNEW that cheoljin was doing all kinds of things on the side but he never asked because he didn't want it to be true. from cheoljin's pov he probably thinks he needed to use his body to get something important? (he clearly didn't look like he was enjoying it lol). he views what he has with minwoo as something completely different and "pure" -- something that he compartmentalizes away from the "uglier" parts of his life.
tldr minwoo doesn't want to see the "ugly" parts of cheoljin still (still wants to live in a fantasy) -- in this way he's denying seeing cheoljin's full self. and ofc cheoljin won't reveal his full self because he thinks minwoo will hate him (+ cheoljin's philosophy of letting people see what they want to see ) like if minwoo asked - I want to understand why you did what you did - would cheoljin respond differently?
(once we get to cheoljin's pov I have a feeling that minwoo will seem very uncurious about him, like he's not interested in getting to know cheoljin more. I also have a theory that cheoljin was wrapped up in all kinds of shady things in the entertainment industry but then maybe something bad happened so that's why he quit being an idol? idk.)
