The cicadas scene hurts so much because Dohu actually learned how to comfort Juheon, he just learned what Juheon really wanted too late.
Back in Ch. 51, when Juheon was anxious about talking to his aunt, Dohu told him: “Mr. Cicada is shy, but once he sees your face, he’ll come out.”
It was way of comforting Juheon and saying, I’m here, You’re not alone.
So now, when he gets drunk four years later, and he hugs Juheon telling him: “Where have you been? Today the cicadas…”
He’s really saying dont disappear, I wasn't able to understand you then but I'm here now, I still love you.
Through the last 4 years Dohu beat himself up and now understands the emotions Juheon needed all along. Their breakup wasn’t because they didn’t care about one another, It was because they didn’t know how to say what they really needed or what they wanted to say.
And the saddest part?
He might not even remember saying it… but Juheon will. my heart hurts
