I’m rereading all these chapter and I haven’t seen a glimpse of either father figure did they die or what?
I feel like he believes that the mc’s mom is actually deceased and in the kimchi fridge he likely knows she’s not making it up or making some sort of joke, maybe he doesn’t want to help her in that way.
Honestly, for me I didn’t feel like she loved him very much even at the beginning of the series she definitely cared, but I wouldn’t say happily in love. he was wrong for proposing the idea to fulfill his own selfish desires, but even if he never suggested it she would likely still cheat lol feel bad for oppas wife tbh, but I know she’s doing a lot better than him.
