I’m enjoying the angst! They are at a low point, but I believe the author will deliver a satisfying conclusion, and I do believe their love will flourish again.
The important thing is they are already in love with each other. Yeon-Jo is denying his own feelings because of Hee-ryang’s past atrocities. Hee-ryang is an expert at insight, reading people, so he knows Yeon-Jo was, at some points, being genuine when they were acting as lovers. The love is already there, the story is about Yeon-Jo navigating forgiveness and Hee-ryang giving Yeon-Jo opportunities to see he is worthy of that forgiveness.
