Sorry but it’s bc in the earlier chapters Taehwan came with a childhood friend named Emma to a club. Emma went to that American boarding school with him
And was the only one who defended him from the racist bullying he suffered from. BUT yeonwoo only sees Emma and taehwan talking and thinks they’re together and he’s being lead on like he was in the past. Hence his reaction to pull away from taehwan when he wanted to talk about his romantic feelings. It’s all a misunderstanding
Yeah, I was just shocked Taewhan attempted to talk as much as he did. I read on a q/a the author said Taewhan would need a lot more episodes for character growth. He still is no where near where he needs to be but he is improving. I'm betting though because Yeonwu rejected him, he will be worse before he gets better.
Spoiler.

I feel bad this last raw. Although I think it was in poor taste for Taewhan to come on so strong...from the translation explanations I've read it sounds like Taewhan was trying to tell Yeonwu he cared more about him than just sex. Yeonwu was the one that said their relationship was just sex. Taewhan also believed Yeonwu when Smith said all the awful things about Yeonwu being promiscuous. I get where Yeonwu would struggle to believe Taewhan cares, but it sounds like Taewhan made efforts to show some feelings, and he kissed him again. (Very poor timing) but it wasnt like the last kiss where Taewhan kissed him by mistake this was a deliberate kiss.
