I'm always a sucker for the in-denial-to realization to lovers trope.
Jaekyung has 100% caught feelings for Kim Dan and the dude is much more in denial than the latter. He's also extremely possessive of him as well. Remember, he's an absolutely discipline and focused guy. However, Kim Dan was just having an innocent chat with YoonGu and that had him breaking away from his workout and snatching Kim Dan so fast away from the poor lil clueless fellow.
He also wouldn't let Kim Dan go on the out of town match with the other guys. Lowkey claimed him by stating Kim Dan lives and cooks for him as well. XD Paid almost all his debts so that Kim Dan really can't leave him too. Also made him live with him when he could've left him to fend for himself, thrown him to a team mate or easily help him with another place to live. The debt arrangement is really just a pitiful excuse at this point.

The new guy is obviously going to be much more of a threat, and it's going to so much fun to see a more upfront green-eyed Jaekyung. Ha!

    Completely agree with you. JK got jealous so many times already. Was it ep 4 or 5, he was waiting for Dan’s response, he was soooooo irritated. Looking at phone all day. Calling him million times, asking manager million times. After that, there are so many signs of affection? At least possessive attitude. Always reasoning was “ make my life easy” but ….no…. We can see something else in you.
    Not sure JK treat Dan better because of Choi, but something about to happen…

    yes its true hes been jealous before out of interest and possession but this time it'll be a different type of jealous - one that makes him question why he is that way instead of just reacting without putting any type of feelings to it other than horny

    Hmmm, gonna be interesting how he react to the emotion. I don’t think he is the type of person who turns into nice guy suddenly. As author says, it will be long way. I like the idea though.

    Oh right he did! Haha. If you go back to the beginning too, Kim Dan caught JK's attention right off the bat. And then when they first slept together, that was it for him. It had been a gradual fall for JK since then and it's been hilarious to watch how in-denial he's been through it all.

    And I do not think JK will be treating Kim Dan any better with the new guy around. As with a lot of these BL plot tropes, the new guy will just play a huge part in pivoting their relationship is all. JK's going to probably be more of an asshole because he does not know how to navigate these unfamiliar feelings he has for Kim Dan. It's been implied since the beginning that he is not a relationship guy as well. He likes a good lay and that's it. It'll take some trial and error before he admits and realizes his feelings for Kim Dan are quite serious. Kim Dan will continue to suffer, JK will suffer but it'll be a good ride to that sweet happy ending nonetheless. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

    Sounds doooooooood!! I too think it is funny when JK just denies his “kind act”. Like it is For Your Grandma, not You! Haha. Why you should be kind to his grandma, anyway? Still interested what he talked to grandma, it is not revealed yet. I think in the future we will see, but I am hoping not in sad way…
