I feel like they aren't forced dates. She agreed to them and she isn't uncomfortable. I get the whole complex emotions and conflict between eunhyuk and his emotions but I genuinely believe the way he is acting is drawing a line. Granted she was going to end things with Jihun; Eunhyuk didn't have any right to speak for her or capitalize on what they had been in the past cause at the end of the day he left and chose his fate.
Eunhyuk is definitely a coward not a complex character. Also, he should've minded his own business when he's just literally avoiding soo ae. Y'all eunhyuk enjoyer are so bad in interpreting the chapter.
Ew the inherent misogyny in the comments over a pervert who forced dates with sooae knowing its just a work project. Sorry that character with complex emotions and confliction is something you can't handle.
