I liked how Jaehyuk looked like a fool. He changed his entire wardrobe for Garam and tried to bribe him with food while still having a terrible attitude on the inside. I think Garam felt his insincerity because he still doesn‘t want to be around Jaehyuk.(he has a bullshit radar).
He seems to enjoy being around his friends more than him because they like and respect him and that’s all Garam wants from someone. If you‘re genuinely kind to him he‘ll be kind to you. I think only when jaehyuk accepts his sexuality and the fact that Garam can not be bribed into liking him will their relationship progress

I'd like to think that there's sincerity in Jaehyuk's actions.
He treats Garam not only because he thinks Garam would forgive and forget but also because he wants Garam to eat a proper meal. This backfires on him because Garam thinks he wasted too much time eating instead of studying, and because he doesn't like owing anyone in the first place.
The problem lies in that Jaehyuk is selfish, he isn't seeing things in Garam's perspective and thinking of what Garam wants even if his actions are stemming from the fact that he sincerely likes Garam.

I think he also just doesn’t know how to approach Garam because they usually clash and Garam’s view on Jaehyuk is really negative right now. I do think he was trying to be nice in his own way but wasn’t taken seriously bc Garam doesn’t trust Jaehyuk.
He dropped him on the ground after he asked him if he liked him.
He tried to have sex with several girls again which Garam was aware of and had sex with him even though Garam was clearly hurting because of his bruise, which Jae didn’t notice because he was busy pleasuring himself to care. He definitely has to work on his selfishness lol
I really wanna root for him but boy does he have to work hard for Garam to even consider him as a potential partner right now.

Jaehyuk: how come you‘ve never smiled at me like that
Idk jaehyuk maybe because you haven’t given garam a single reason to ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

His way of approaching garam is not ideal I think, but he‘s slowly starting to realize that he needs to go for a gentle approach when it comes to Garam and that he‘s not a grumpy person by nature. He‘s acting that way because Jaehyuk acts like an ass towards him so he gives the same treatment back to Jae. I hope he won‘t blow up on Garam and ruin the small progress he made. If he wants Garam to view him as a potential love interest he needs to STEP UP

Ngl I feel sorry for Dan ): he hasn’t seen much kindness in his life and Jaekyung doing the bare minimum was enough to make him fall for him. Dan sees Jaekyung as unreachable so I don’t think he‘ll confess to him anytime soon (the time he was drugged doesn’t count)
Waiting for granny to finally die so we can get more development lol.
I feel like this is gonna blow up in Jaehyuk‘s face. I do feel like he was being sincere with the confession but the timing is very bad. Garam is definitely not on the same wavelength as him. Since Jaehyuk used to play around so much he already thinks that he‘s just another one of Jaehyuk‘s flings and that his interest in Garam will pass and now said guy is confessing to him lol
how do you think garam will respond?
Reject him of course..tell him he might be confused or it's a momentary thing
I feel like he‘s gonna reject him. There‘s so many things they have to work through first. Garam‘s closed off heart and his no dating straight men policy, jaehyuk needing to come to terms with his sexuality and work on his selfishness. He‘ll need to prove himself. Prove to Garam that he‘s serious about them and that he truly wants him to be more than sex partners, because Garam does not trust him one bit, rightfully so.
I think Jaehyuk doesn’t know how to pursue someone properly, because he‘s always been on the receiving end of people’s affection and attention. It would be nice to see Garam guide him and acknowledge that Jaehyuk really is making an effort in his own way.
I have the same thoughts about Jaehyuk needing to prove himself back when Garam broke up with him, but hear me out ! The thing with Garam is that this is the guy who agreed to be sex partners with a homophobic asshole for his pleasure, so I wouldn't rule out him accepting the confession because deep down he likes Jaehyuk more than he thought, he might be willing to date even if he still believes that Jaehyuk's feelings aren't that deep.
If he does reject him though, I hope your last paragraph is true. They need to genuinely interact again for Jaehyuk to further develop as a character because he's clueless by himself. Garam also needs to give him a chance for him to prove anything.
I do think there's a tiny chance of him accepting it too! maybe to try and see if he's being serious because Garam definitely does feel something for him too but thas been trying to avoid it like the plague. I'd like to see them get to know each other better
