I disagree. He does think that his presence will affect him but he’s also just trying to move on. Joon was rejected twice by the same guy 10 years apart so of course he’s wanting to move on so it doesn’t happen again. The seme is toxic and I stand by that
Ofcourse he wants to move on but the major part is he is doing that for the seme himself. He heard the seme's friends discussing Seme's orientation n ol in the parking lot and then he got upset. Even when he scolded the seme..he ddnt do it because he was angry but he was trying to make seme leave himself by being mean to him. He was even worrying about hurting him after saying all that. This is always the protagonist halo that stories end up writing. The seme is " narcissistic" ..
You all asking seme to give uke space aren't understanding something. Uke is trying to leave the seme not because he is still angry with seme but because he saw how seme will be affected with the reputation of being gay. So he is trying to not let seme go in that direction. If the seme keeps his distance now, the uke will only believe that his decision was right. The seme must suffer but by waiting on kangjoon.
