IT IS LITERALLY HARD IF THE MOTHER ABANDONED HER SON. Honestly? Mother figures are important in a boy's development as they grew up. Mothers mostly take on the role of teaching their sons how to express things emotionally and how to handle it because not many fathers do it. They also teach basic etiquettes and proper manners around people and now that he's completely not showered with such love and attention of a mother, it isn't surprising he acts that way. Now that his grandma (his coach's mother) is gone, it's hard to keep him in check I mean even the coach in this chapter kept bringing her up and it took an effect to Jaekyung but with Dan's grandma? He obeys and even does things for her when it shouldn't concern him. That's how it is.
Now let's go back to how he felt attached to Kim Dan and fell in love. Kim Dan is caring and he's literally a doctor. He loves his grandma so much and Jaekyung can relate to that. He also tends to the elderly now. Jaekyung may have took in Kim Dan because of his looks at first and he can discard him anytime like his other flings but with Kim Dan's background, his family situation, and his grandma? Jaekyung gets it. He helped him but of course didn't let Dan cross some boundaries because Dan's situation won't improve at all if he's dependent on him and didn't learn how to get his life going himself.
Remember when Kim Dan worked hard to buy Jaekyung an expensive gift? Notice how it kinda resembles what Jaekyung basically did for his mom? He earned money restlessly to try and get her back only for it to be so pointless because she now has everything. That's how it feels. Dan worked hard to give him an expensive gift when he can get lots of it. Jaekyung worked hard to give his mother a comfortable life so they could be back together as a family but turns out, she built another family with someone else. He saw that act as pointless but we're all aware that acting that way isn't necessary at all. He didn't have to toss it but that's how he felt when he was in a similar situation and he just responded like that and never thought of it until Dan disappeared. That's his mistake but hey it does created a depth to his character.
Jaekyung has a complicated toxic personality and a redflag but that doesn't mean he's poorly written. Y'all shush. What makes his character well written is the way he's very much human.
