My take on this

Hear me out : next day, he wins his match, he's all high and super happy, decides he wants to tell Kim Dan to stay but that's when Dan gets a call from the hospital: grandma isn't waking up
All hell broke loose for Dan, he's on the verge of sinking back into a depressive state. He rushes back to the country side to be with her. Jaekyung can't since he's supposed to stay in Seoul because he won ect but as soon as he can he joins Dan. He's supper worried Dan is gonna fall into alcoholism again
Confessing is put on hold for the time being and since Dan finished his contract, he decides to stay in the country side. Jaekyung doesn't have a reason to stay in the eyes of Dan, he's too scared to tell him he cares about him. So he goes back to Seoul

I don't know what's after but my guess : more angst
Hehe I've read so many now I can make my own plot in my head. Should I be concerned ? XD

    Well I'm just feeling she's been too quiet lately xD I really dislike using family members or close one's health issues as plot devices bit that's what usually done :(
    I feel grandma has the potential to bring them closer but her time is coming >.<
