I love this chapter!!I pure happiness, I love seeing Juhyeok like this! no constant pressure from Su-ah, he doesn't have to be bothered by anything, he is just himself here, finally where he wants to be! it would be nice to have more of such cheerful time for our boy, a healthy competitive spirit with Daiki, TJ being on his side, seriously, this is the life Juhyeok always dreamed of, and this is exactly why that whole situation with secondary gender is so tough for him, let him be happy a little longer
So to be honest, I expected this chapter to be rough, that they will be still fighting, but they are vulnerable here, we can say that Juheon put Dohu against the wall, you do it or it's over, but we can see that he wanted here for Dohu to stop, we need to remember that Juheon is still trying to push Dohu away, he wants Dohu to give up and leave, but later Juheon said that they really should stop for now, and Dohu then said to go ahead and started pushing Juheon further, but angst is needed here, because they both are now driven by negative emotions and it's heartbreaking, but we saw that 'just talking' didn't help till now, they need that moment to break the wall, it's a hate sex, uncomfortable to read, but I trust this author, till now she's doing an amazing job showing a complexity of emotions in both of them, and I believe in the next chapter we'll see already Juheon's wall cracked a little bit, first step to reconciliation
Totally agree, this chapter was supposed to be hard, if they had calm emotional sex now, all these years of pushing and fighting would be pointless, and that exactly would be ooc, like you said, Juheon wants to push Dohu away and that's the point, he's wall need to finally break, and when talking didn't work, actions and angst are needed here, it will be here, but ai also believe that next chapter will show already a progress
