Ohhhh Lee Sayoung is going to be REAL MAD when he finds out Euijae went into that fragment
this arc is going to be angsty and it's not going to be "fun". if that's too much for you to handle, leave it for a couple months then come back. the author isn't trying to "fix it with sex". both of them were traumatized by the way their relationship ended. Dohu is haunted by nightmares, barely eats, and has been living like a ghost. Juheon is putting his life on the line to escape his family and he's terrified Dohu is going to get caught in the crosshairs. Juheon knows deep down that Dohus feelings were real but he's been hurt so bad by everyone that he can't open his emotions to that again. imo Juheon is so overwhelmed with his heart wanting Dohu that he's trying to appease his emotional desire physically cause he's so scared of being emotionally vulnerable and risking Dohu being noticed by his family. and Dohu knows he's very much at risk of losing Juheon again that he will take any crumb that Juheon gives him to buy himself time to fix things and get him back. no one thinks this is getting solved by sex. they're allowing eachother what they can manage for now and buying themselves time.
