Some context for chapter 7 page 25

From what i read in the korean version, the scene where hiromichi recalled sleeping with a woman in the dark was intended to serve as a revelation. Just in case my translation didn't convey the meaning, here's the context.

Hiromichi remembered that once, he had sex with a woman in a room that was pitch black. He couldn't see a thing, so he felt like he could be sleeping with either a man or a woman. At that time, he thought that sex with a man couldn't be that different from sex with a woman, and if that was the case, he could pretend to be straight. But of course after he really slept with a man for the first time, hayato, he realized how different and liberating it was to finally embrace his sexuality. That's why he cried, because he just realized that "oh fuck, i just had sex with a guy. I thought i would never get to feel this and now that i have, i can never pretend to love a woman like my family want me to".

Does that make sense? I hope i didn't make it more confusing, i'm not the best at explaining stuffs :')

I really love that scene, because it was heartbreaking but also liberating to see hiromichi coming to terms with himself.

Keep in mind that that's what i get from reading the korean fan-translation version. Idk if the original japanese version meant it this way, but i still think it's beautiful nonetheless.
