I want a happy ending for them both! Lee Seodan has developed feelings for Han Joo-won, but thinks he's only Joo-won's BDSM plaything. Joo-won has also developed feelings for Han (whether he admits to himself or not)—he stands up for Seodan in front of his former coworkers and stops them from bullying him, tells Seodan he can nap in his car if he's tired at work and is kind to him in other ways.
It started as a transactional relationship but has slowly turned into something more and they're not communicating. Seodan is trying to push him away and I wouldn't be surprised if Joo-won later tries to push Seodan away.
You're right with Juwon trying to push away Seodan cuz Seodan's clearly not cut for bdsm etc
Seodan's not cut out for the cut-throat world of consultancy either, with its ethical compromises. But I think that's part of why Joo-woon is attracted to him, enjoys vanilla sex with him and wants him by his side. Seodan is an innocent.
Yes yes that's actually Seodan's strength his innocence and ethics (? Idk what is the right word lol like how he helped his colleague on the harassment that happened to him when everyone around them are pretending to be blind)
I'm reliving this moment again if only the both of them just clearly talk in the beginning about their differences, what's the nature of their relationship etc. If only Seodan didn't lie and Juwon didn't assume things. I love them thou
