I think that we shouldn't concentrate that much on the ring. Of course, it's important in the story, but it's more like a catalyst than the cause.
At the very beginning, seme didn't approach uke with pure intentions, he played with me, lied to him and let's be honest saw him like an idiot lol. But he came to really like him, he's even totally obsessed with him that he can't extract himself from this relationship. The transition was so smooth that even we ourselves didn't know if he was a red/green flag or if he was playing/serious with uke before his POV. But thanks to that, he is freaking out because he's afraid of uke learning the truth and wanting to break up with him (well, when you do bad things, you can never be at peace). So, when you combine the fact that he can't stay away from uke for too long + he now noticed that something is off with uke and was afraid that uke might have learned the truth.
For uke, the situation is even more delicate. Of course, he's guilty about the ring, but he still doesn't know how to face seme with what he learned. Because realistically, seme never did anything wrong to him. He was always caring, and uke can tell that seme is totally in love with him. So, did seme do something wrong? Not really, if we're honest (at least for now). But still, uke can't shake off the feeling that seme knew everything from the beginning, that he played with him, lied to him (uke also lied, but you know it's not the same), and saw through him. Uke must have appeared very dumb in front of him. Uke must be feeling ashamed and embarrassed that his "ugly side" was seen by everyone and that he was the only one in the play. Plus, it was painful to imagine seme with that sunbae, but it seems like they DID have something between them. But can he be mad when that was before they were together and seme never cheated or seemed like he could when they were together? It's really the "can I have the right to be mad when he never hurt me and is sincere with me?" question. He doesn't know how to face him, and I think it's more about that than about the ring. I think lying is a pretty good reason to be mad, but since they were both liars at the beginning
