I just read the raw kr version of it and only explains literally that since Ian knew Eunsan couldn't be contacted so he made himself a schedule. So seems like the translator's idiom choices that does it entirely, which is a shame since there are much better ways to express those, like "if you can't go to the party, bring the party to you" or some sorts.
