is this a side story? I'm confused as heck rn

Nope, a few chapters ago, Hen said he needs time to think due to his frustration of the seme not trusting him of anything and basically said that he doesn't need Hen to concern himself of his problems. So they're in a cool-off state of their relationship.
Was confused as well initially so I re-read the past 5 chapters up to the recent one.
