Taesoo has a lot of trauma related to relationships he basically feels worthless and also super guilty bc in the beginning he was taking advantage of Chunwoo's feelings for him but then he fell in love and became super attached but he still felt like he wasn't enough and Chunwoo deserved better but he also didn't want to let go of him so I think he just figured not communicating his feelings and fearful thoughts was the best way to avoid a falling out between them which is bullshit and they could have totally solved their issued had they talked things through properly... but ofc that's why trauma is a bitch bc it doesn't let you do the smart thing and keeps ruining your life... their relationship was super messed up as a result of this bc Taesoo was simultaneously pushing Chunwoo away while constantly pulling him back.
I would recommend you to continue reading, personally I really enjoy this story and I like the characters (except for the big bully sunbae) and I think the author does a great job at displaying all their insecurities and so on so their characters and why they do things make sense but I also understand that this type of story is not everyone's cup of tea. You do get more fluff in the epilogue, it's focused on the current relationship between Ho-in and Chunwoo and though they still have issues they need to work through they're really cute together and they love each other so yeah :D
aaaah then this might not be for you... instead, read smth like Boku no Omawari-san or Sonna ni Iu Nara Daiteyaru or Kimagure na Jaguar or The Beast that Yearns to be Tamed or Perfect Buddy or Mr. 100% Perfect or Honto Yajuu or Alien in My Closet or Sugar Dog Life or Cupid ni Rakurai (and anything else by Suzumaru Minta) okay I don't know why I started recommending you stuff anyhoo hope you'll find smth fun to read and I'm gonna stop here otherwise I'll end up listing an entire page XD
you're welcome <3
I get you, it's all about the angst to fluff ratio, and sometimes the angst is too much and cannot be outfluffed. tbh that's smth that I kinda missed in this manhwa, imo it didn't have a good enough cool-off after the climax and the epilogue doesn't really make up for it, you just get to spend more time with the main couple so I kinda get where ppl are coming from though I still think Chunwoo gets too much hate.
I'm also more of a fluff person and the ones I listed above (except for Alien in My Closet) are ones that I've read several times bc they make me feel all warm and fuzzy. I enjoy stable relationships :D
if you ever need more recommendations, hit me up (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Yeahh cos I read the epilogue and it's just Chunwoo still unable to move on and fully accept Ho-in's feeling like wth ... I guess I prefer if it's like a few years later they are both happy kind of epilogue haha
Omg I also enjoy stable relationships hehe. Will contact u if I need any recommendations :) ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
at this point I just want the story to come to an end I've had enough of the main couple XD I like them and enjoyed their story but all I want now is to read a story entirely dedicated to Woojin (≧∀≦) he's such a good boy I want more of him <3
stable relationships for the win (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ I understand why ppl are drawn to rollercoaster dramas but watching a healthy, stable relationship blossom is just sooo rewarding
I tried listing mostly completed ones. Hopefully, there are some that are new for you, and if you need more let me know XD

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/50_x_50/ (I know the rating is super low but I’m very biased with this bc it was one of the first BLs I’ve ever read and I think it’s hilarious…)
I stopped reading this in the middle because I didn't like where this story was going but I did read the last few chapters and I wanna ask, so Chunwoo likes Ho-in in the end?? And why does the Chunwoo's friend that likes him didn't confess like what's the deal with it? I dont mind spoilers :>. Hope that the side stories / epilogue is better like at least show Chunwoo liking Ho-in more clearly or maybe the best friend's love story with another guy?
