Joohwan wanted to tell sihyun the truth and he even did tell the truth about golfing, but was still rebuked. Sihyun even goes so far as to insinuate Joohwan is obviously lying given how he believes many men in the business world sleep with men because it’s convenient for both parties: one doesn’t have to care about pregnancy while the other gets better career opportunities. The problem isn’t that Joohwan is misunderstood, it’s that Sihyun refuses to believe anything other than his misconception.
I kept asking myself why Joohwan would stay, worse, dig a deeper hole by saying he’s in a relationship with his friend. I think it’s because Sihyun is one of two people who know he’s gay, and the only person he wants to actually fuck. He turns his actor friend down 1) he doesn’t feel attracted to him 2) the other guy is in a hot and cold relationship. It is convenient for him to have sex with someone he finds attractive. But at the same time, he’s the kind of person to wants to hold power/superiority over sihyun who is much better situated in the world than Joohwan. He knows Sihyun treats him as a disposable no strings attached hookup so he plays it up, making it look like sihyun is the one who’s the disposable one to him, that sihyun is the one begging to fuck him despite believing he’s with someone else. Sihyun to him is that desperate, therefore inferior.
Personally I would not be able to fuck someone if they kept making me feel like a whore but joohwan somehow found a way to assert his autonomy and power even in that situation lol.
