This episode is like a punch in the gut. But i'm glad the author took it this way. It's such an important part of inwoo's character, the conflict he had with his past.
Irl, it's not easy to resolve. It's trauma from years and years that becomes ingrained to you as a person and you don't even know that your responses come from a place of hurt and pain. Inwoo probably isn't comfortable talking about his past yet. Hence, the misunderstanding.
JiHo can't be blame as well, since he's coming from a place of concern. It just didn't translate well because it's not what inwoo needs right now. What worked for you, may not work for your partner.
Coming from personal experience, constant communication and therapy may help. I wonder how they will resolve this.
