Based on the novel, he wanted to see if another man could turn him on, since he was always just attracted to women he thought something was "wrong" with him when he suddenly was turned on by a man. That's also why he smelled the man (Zhenya is obsessed with the way Taek Joo smells) and when he realized other men don't do it for him, he retreated.
Did he just fuck a random old man
