There are actually quite a few people who take comfort from physical contact. & Given the fact that the mc was pretty homophobic only a few chapters ago, it’s not really a surprise that he’s trying to keep his relationship with the president as impersonal as possible, which is why he won’t call him by name.
In circumstances like this, I don’t think it’s really supposed to be romantic.

It seems pretty believable to me. The boss is generally very sweet and tender and comforting it was the uke who asked for sex, not to mention rough sex. He wants to forget, not only about dad in hospital but also all the confusing love-like feeling between him and the boss, doesn´t want to deal with it.
Ugh! Seems like the author doesnt know how a person should be comforted. How would a person feel comforted when fucked raw while already in a distressed state? And am wondering why would he still keep on addressing him sir despite having slept together many times. Are they not on equal level after having had sex? It sounds unromantic and forceful when theres this formality even while having sex. (⊙…⊙ )
