i have felt this way too, but i liked that nakwon is so annoying with his chatter and still doesn’t communicate well because a lot of people really do the same. and nakwon is always second guessing things when it comes to mokhwa because of his S1 guilt and then when he does speak up it’s something really nasty and rude and not what he meant to say, because nasty is his default. i liked that he kept struggling with communication so much. this is probably the first time he had to put so much thought into what he’s doing, then think so much retroactively about what he did, and then end up saying the wrong thing and ruining it anyway. good shit
There’s a lot of internal monologues, so we know exactly where the characters stand, but they themselves down. Mokwa admitted in this chapter that he learned a long time ago to keep things to himself, so I get him not being very vocal even when he has an aha! Moment, but what’s Nakwon’s excuse? He’s a major chatter bug and he’s already embarrassed himself in front of Mokwa multiple times, so it’s not that. One of them needs to talk to the other.
Overall I like their dynamics and their lack of inter-communication is not annoying because it doesn’t really detract from the narrative, but I just think it’ll be nice if they knew each other’s thoughts more.
