It's just how some readers are. The more you've been in the bl community you just see how some of them are gonna react. If Baekhee retreat after realizing ilwoo is the child that his father's hurt and feel guilty. There will probably be people crucifying him for an understandable realistic reaction. And I would understand the frustration if that angst is drag out to the prolong the story but it's not the case in this story. Most of them just like Ilwoo more and Baekhee is like an addition.

I just know Baekhee's gonna get hate next chapters. Baekhee get behind me
