Those are not reasons but excuses. I feel bad for Jiwon because he has internalized homophobia and is still living in the closet. But you cannot force your partner to do that too, and that's exactly what he's doing. He wants Jungwoo but cannot fully commit, so he looks like he is playing with Jungwoo's feelings even if he doesn't mean it.

And those are exactly issues that Jiwon will have to face definitely. I just cant accept how much he's being cruxified in the comment sections when as u said and we as the reader all know he doesn't mean what he said. We know the shit he's been through and why he does have internalize homophobia. They're both public figures for crying out loud! Its like character development is something many BL readers have been too allergic to nowadays
Yea its true what Jiwon said was hella stupid but come on hating tf out of him when it's pointed out REASONS as to why his response is like that!?!?! This is coming from someone who also hates spineless and dumbass MCs/MLs in BL but shit bruh Jiwon has to be one of the few characters where it actually makes sense why he react and says stuff like that. If this is how yall will treat individuals who are actually like this and have a mental illness (yes its undiagnosed but its pretty on the nose) that Jiwon has, yall seriously are gonna be the ruin of society. Ok im being too much but I just to say shit ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
