I don't know why everyone in the CS is hating on the mc for giving distance. He's literally feeling himself falling in love with ahjussi to the point that he's about to confess at random moments.. something ahjussi STRESSED he didn't want in their relationship. Of course, he'll try to move on.
Should he try confessing first? Maybe. But the only reason we know that might work for him is bkoz we're reading the story.

Calm tf down! If they forced a conversation with him, that would be forcibly outing him, and do you know how traumatic that would be?
Chaheon literally gets his personality and decided to just shoulder the awkwardness of the whole thing.
Also, you see how positive/loving his rl is with his family, he almost broke down when he thought his Mom was ill.. imagine when he realises that it's bkoz she couldn't accept his sexuality, something that took him years to get courage to express with jis partner.
This is the same person that enjoys how obsessed Chaheon is with him, i think they're going to be fine.

I get it, the downvotes are from people who dont know how its like to be gay irl and just wants transparency with the MC as if the subject is as light as what's for dinner. If he wants to be outed to his family, he would've initiated it. His silence to the whole sexuality thing is the indication that he dont want to be found out. And i think chaeheon and his family handled it well.
