I don't know Hangyum's reason for lying but I think it is close to be revealed in the Korean version. The ill intention words from Chungwoon does not come across that will in Korean. It was more caring for a friend in the Korean version. Tapas changed the dialogue it is similar but not. but those words weight heavy on Hajin. I do agree with if he knew he was flame as compared to a fling. I do agree with "Obviously we as readers know that everyone else in Hangyum’s life were just to pass the time until he could meet his true love, even if he’s going about it all wrong." I just wished Tapas kept closer to the Korean dialogue. Chungwoon comes off more as a friend and a caring one to me. That is why I have been excited for this chapter but Tapas ruined it. Torakaze had the same impression as I did. I think he even mention in the Korean version he did not want to lose his friendship with him. TAPAS >< It has been a few weeks since I looked at that dialogue.

This was more first one and I think what I posted in my chapter summaries. I thought I had re did it. I am still looking for that.. Tell me if this helps the dialogue even better?
After ten minutes has past, Hajin gets ready to go in but someone calls for him. Hajin is not that happy to see Chunghoon (is the one that was blackmailing Hajin). Chunghoon will say it has been a long time since he has seen Hajin. Hajin slowly says “ah…. Yes”. Chunghoon walks up to him. Hajin will say that he is okay.Chunghoon will say wait a minute. He wants to apologize for last time. He will say he is sorry, really. And he will say it again. Hajin returns with this is a bit surprising. Chunghoon will say it seems Hajin has noticed that is he inferior to Hangyum. Hajin asks is this related to the woman from last time. (Yoojin). The webtoon will show where Chunghoon reacted to the Eunho saying Yoojin’s name in chapter 18 and a picture of Yoojin from chapter 17. Chunghoon tells Hajin it was his first love, the chance to confess was taken away by Hangyum. So, he wanted to steal someone Hangyum was interested in. Hajin questions Chunghoon, why do he confess to him? Is he not interested in doing that now? Chunghoon gives a reason, this dialogue is a bit hard for me but I am getting that if Hajin was not into him. It would be ridiculous for them to meet up. I think I have it wrong. Chunghoon asks it is because they just got using to being together. Chunghoon then asks Hajin did he forget the position of Eight Nine in the entertainment. Can Hajin handle it? There are many eyes watching, even more for Hangyum who has a strong female following. Chunghoon will say to Hajin it may seem like he is special but it will be much longer maybe 3 months and not to have expectations from Hangyum from the beginning. During this Chunghoon gets closer to Hajin and puts his left hand on Hajin’s left shoulder. Chunghoon will add is to tell him if Hajin needs help. And that Hajin can change to be his own stylist before removing his hand and start walking to the building..

And my bad.... " I think he even mention in the Korean version he did not want to lose his friendship with him." I must be wrong and that is what I get from this.
Maybe, just maybe if Hangyum admitted he’s the same Hangyum from high school, Hajin wouldn’t have to feel bad from the ill intentioned words from the other guy in the group because he’d know Hangyum has held a flame for him since those days as he’s not just a simple fling. As it stands, even if right now he’s not totally head over heels in love with Hangyum it must still hurt to know he’s just “using” him as the other guy said. Obviously we as readers know that everyone else in Hangyum’s life were just to pass the time until he could meet his true love, even if he’s going about it all wrong.
