Dan panicking at every word Jaekyung said... Poor boy was having flashbacks. He's trying to hold back those feelings but they're still there, under his avoidant eyes and polite smile. Pretty sure he was waiting for that apology forever, never believing it would come because why would he apologize... If he believed he meant nothing for Jaekyung.

Jaekyung still has a lot to apologize for but he started with the ones he THINKS hurt Dan the most. And Dan was really shocked!!! And like Jaekyung said, they actually never have sat down face to face before and talked. They need more of that but with Dan actually expressing his feelings!!! And not downplaying them because of awkwardness. Both of them need to address those unspoken feelings.

I do believe when Jaekyung said that 'he didn't know he hurt him so much' because even if he was abandoned by his mother, abused by his father and being treated like a pariah and later in life he had parental figures and teammates, receiving some kind or care and protection, it's not the same as to know love from young age and actually cultivate and grow emotional intelligence. He only focused on himself and in that narrow view there's not time from anything else. It makes sense he was an asshole and it makes more sense that he doesn't know what to do or what to say to make Dan feel better. It makes sense he's doing grand gestures and apologizing, taking big steps to make things right but not actually listening to Dan or asking him important questions... Too afraid to hear what Dan has to said.

And even if I really want a confession, it would be so random because from Dan's pov, Jaekyung's only taking care of him because of the jinx and the match so Jaekyung confessing would lead to rejection. Jaekyung needs to show more affection and Dan, little by little, has to unburied his feelings for him...

But I kind of believe he said something like 'Stay with me, Kim Dam' or 'I need you. Kim Dan'. I want his confession to be more intimate, him feeling more vulnerable and with Dan actually listening and believing him.



Ah but please never address what he did to Dan in front of Heesung. Not that.
