this is why i think he threw up (reposting this from a response):
this is just my take, but from the latest chapter, we find out that guwon has been looking for someone who knows what's right and wrong, and who can call him out.
in ch 15 he said he feels that, ever since he woke up, it's like he was meant to protect the town, as if he's stuck in a role he was born into. he also hasn't been getting enough sleep because he's afraid of what might happen to the town if he did. the townspeople keep saying, "our only rule is to not defy guwon. guwon is the key to this town. without guwon, we would die." guwon literally means salvation. and he probably believes he NEEDS to be the town's savior even though he doesn't want to.
before jinwoo confessed, guwon had already believed he was different from the others and saw him as someone other than their "salvation". but the moment jinwoo confessed, it threw him into the pile of the other townspeople who also "liked" him (guwon at this point doesn't understand the difference between romantic and platonic "like"). but guwon isn't looking for someone to like him, he wants someone to call him out and pull him from his role as a savior. i think that's why he threw up. he also says that he's "too handsome for his own good" which reinforces the idea that he hates how people always seem to "like" him.
