I get that when you have restricting parents in your life, all you wanna do is break free and do whatever because you can. But now MC is way too deep in this. Not taking the steps to heal but double down and fucked around. Now he finds out.
I'm pretty sure he's going to beg not to get his parents involved because he's not only failing school, he put himself in shitty situations due to trauma and constantly dragged others in on it (legit the first episode, the freshman was trying to help and he didnt want help). He will be forced to bulk under parent surveillance 24/7 which is way worse. But honestly, to be blunt, he needs that.
For ML, I think it was smart to remind MC how this will be for the public. I'm not too familiar with Korean laws but I do know Homosexuals aren't treated right at all. Or not well enough (unless you're high in power where no one particularly cares). He is much more of a bigger person to work with someone who broke his heart about a month or 2 ago.
