finally

he’s always had a backbone wdym

nah it’s one thing to whine and have a bad temper but it’s another thing to actually grow a backbone and put your foot down. often times at the start garam would get mad a lot but he'd always end up compromising his dignity for sex even if jaehyuk was being an asshole. him actually taking action to distance himself from jaehyuk is def not smt he did at the start

he means that he "straightens up" like a real man/gentleman woud do.

ouhh ur right i thank the creator for having garam reject him
