I kinda felt the same to an extent. I don’t know much about Korean culture and how important relationships are, and BLs and manhwa can only help so far before it just bleeds fictional. From what I get, higher ups (sunabe right? I tend to mix them up) are supposed to get a crap ton of respect, so if they were to pester for a picture (like the random men typically do in BL) then it could make things worse for someone as sensitive as Haeboom for sure. I do wish they spoke on the subject of their relationship more thoroughly though. Love should cause no feeling of shame, but if it needs to be hidden for personal safety or income, then they need to do what’s right for them (they’re also fairly young without much experience so I think that could get in their way too).

dont get me wrong.. i get it about being cautious but he atleast shouldve talk this out together with taesung.. i mean if my lover who is in the same company saying they are not in relationship or even being wishy washy about it imma be pissed so much and not only that it really bring out the insecurity within that relationship itself

i know a bit bout korean culture, they did think highly of seniority like sunbae hoobae, older to youngest cukture and the senior can be intrusive like example being nosy into their junior private life BUT like u said this shouldve been talked it out tgt with taesung so they know how to approach this pasrticular event. even if the senior being nosy like for example wanting to see haebom lover through picture he couldve just said his lover doesnt like taking pic, or he could change taesung contack name in his phone incase the senior being a jerk by going through haebom phone without asking....

Yes yesss I truly understand you. I questioned too why did he decide to keep his ring hidden and all I thought is because he doesn’t want both of them to be caught. BUT I do recall that neither of them talked about how they should react if their relationships are being interrogated. Like an agreement, when they’re at the office, don’t wear the rings and put it back when heading home, or whether they should speak about them being in a relationship without dropping the name (Atleast the seniors will get an idea beforehand whoever wants to make a move on them smthng like that) If this continues, things between them will get pretty tough knowing Haebeom who sometimes don’t know how to refuse or say his opinion simply because he’s afraid :(( I dunno if I’m right tho but I really understand both points
BUT lying and being wishy washy over ur relationship status.... bro... seriously? even if u said ur in serious relationship NOBODY will suddenly calling u out gay or ur boyfriend is in the same company as you.. i am dissapointed on how haebom handle this matter.. haebom should be glad that taesung didnt take offense of it
