well haesoo says in the next (or next next?) chapter that he feels a little awkward because it's been so long since they were together like this. also theyre very new at openly voicing their affections to each other so there's that too
personally i dont think it was that awkward though, they were bantering like old times which was nice
well i dont think so at all (just stating my opinion)
for example: joowon saying he thought he was gonna die -not literally obviously- during the 3 years haesoo was gone and then quickly changing the subject because he gets awkward and flustered. showing eo open and genuine affection is new to them. so i think the author depicted that feeling well and this chapter seems all genuine and sweet~
They’re a little shy because they’re finding their new equilibrium. This is the start of their new relationship, after all- they love each other so much and they don’t want to make any more mistakes. I think it’s really sweet and makes sense. There’s an innocence about it that’s just so perfect.
All valid points.
It probably is just me but something about this chapter just seemed off. Sure it could be awkwardness from being apart but I don’t know.
