The timeline is all over the place so it’s a bit difficult to tell who initiated first. But I dont think Kakine forgave Keidai because he’s “dumb”
I think Keidai has always had a crush on Kakine and was the one to seek him out and ask him on dates, and trying to get closer to him. He blushes a lot around him, and is very self conscious being near him. Kakine doesn’t hypnotize him into having feelings for him these were all there from the beginning and Keidai clears that up in chapter 6.
And Keidai does initiate physically when he’s not hypnotized, he takes Kakine’s hand and touches his chest with it and he’s even seen agreeing to masturbate together. But every time Keidai does initiate, Kakine can’t handle it (i dont understand his thought process) and takes that control away from him and erases his memories even when Keidai is conscious and consenting.
Keidai is self-admittedly not the brightest but he understands his own emotions and how to emotionally connect to Kakine after the truth comes to light. He’s not dumb enough to let Kakine convince him that his emotions are not his own. I cant stress this point enough, Kakine tries to convince him his feelings are not his own, and Keidai rejects that and then proceeds to tell him that what he did wasn’t right, he needs to express himself out loud too.
Keidai liked Kakine before all the dubious contact under hypnosis, and that crush only grew from all the time they spent together, and Keidai chooses to spend time with him. He’s aware of his own feelings and won’t even let Kakine convince otherwise. And fascinatingly, Keidai is also kinda twisted lol, at the end he admits he likes it when Kakine messes with him.
Keidai isnt dumb. He’s in tune with his emotions and what he likes. And he likes Kakine.

So Kwonwoo comes right back in and points out how upset Dowon is after telling him to not be nice to him and asks him if he wants to continue like this. I think They then make a plan to record things so the previous Kwonwoo will believe their current interactions
