Taegun probably thinks eunsung wanted to be his guide so he can find an opening through his walls and grow closer to him, painting him as a selfish person who used his job for personal matters, which is understandble.
If we go back to earlier chapters we see that eunsung himself was denying his feelings and at times even seemed uncertain, so i truly believe him when he says he only wanted to help him, probably because of their shared past, the level of communication in this is crazy, because I've never seen a ml in bl being this direct and honest, such a fresh breath of air.

I see where they're coming from, but they're also treating eunsong as if he has to be perfect all the time, it would be unrealistic of him to act as cool as a cucumber, of course he let his feelings cloud his vision, but bro didn't do anything remotely hurtful to taegun, comparing him to other shitty mls in bl is criminal tbh (I'm looking at you ml from jinx)

Yeaah like they are acting as if taegun was perfect and eunsong was such a criminal.
I mean neither of them are. They both try to improve themselves and try to understand each other. I mean they can have flags but i like that bc its kinda realistic. If other person wanted a perfect story with greener than grass ml idk what i would recommend bc even stories like 4 weeks lovers (im which i would say the ml is greener than green) can have some red flags if you really look into it. I mean they all can have some red flags if we are always watching if they do something minimally wrong.

I really like how this is handled, instead of going in blindly and believing in another person, taegun is assessing his situation, trying to reason out his feelings, and you don't see that in bl a lot, most would just ignore all the red lights blaring at them and charge straight on, i like this realistic and mature approach much better, and i can't stress how much I'm enjoying this plot, it's carefully constructed, every word and action feels thought of and i appreciate the author for that

I like this chapter a lot, we get a deeper look at what's going on inside their heads, and it helps us to view them as more than two dimensional characters, they're flawed and imperfect, and i reaaaally like this approach, and the dialogue as well, it makes me feel as if the author is taking their readers seriously instead of throwing them into cheesy situations that are romance clishés.
