I hope everyone who feels like they are pissed off of Garam can remember the fact that he got KICKED OUT of his house for being GAY. He had to work harder because his family doesn't support him and will probably never will unless they magically become understanding and loving parents. Garam had no safe space to be himself other than a few of his friends before he met Jaehyuk. And at the start of their interactions as roommates Jaehyuk was a homophobe before he fell in love with Garam. I am not holding Jaehyuk's past ignorance against him. However, it seems like he still doesn't understand that Garam is acting that way because he doesn't want Jaehyuk to suffer the same situation as him.
Garam cares about Jaehyuk and doesn't want him to be scrutinized just like him. It's just he cannot voice it out directly to Jaehyuk which caused the misunderstanding. Jaehyuk's answer just doesn't work like that .. Garam is being realistic.. he was so shocked when Jaehyuk left his job. Sure, Garam was jealous but he didn't mean Jaehyuk to leave. He just wants affirmation, coming from Jaehyuk's mouth. I hope after their time off, they can talk properly and apologize to each other. Jaehyuk could also address his past prejudiced behaviour, reassure Garam that he has changed and is not judging of people based on sexuality, I think Garam's insecurity mostly comes from that. They need to help each other heal, that is a part of a loving relationship. You owe your partner care and respect.
Losing family is truly hard. And dehumanizing for lgbtqia+ people.
