That is true, I didn't think of it like that. Ig in this situation it's either push your partners boundaries and make sure he survives versus him slowly starving himself and dying. Hopefully pushing the boundaries doesn't make it worse. It's a double edged sword (if I'm using that phrase write)
.....I understand his fear over Inwoo's health, but this still isn't the way to go about it. Yeah maybe in a fictional scenario things will turn out all right..............but in a real life setting this is the worst way to go about it, and most therapist would strongly advise against being slammed against your trauma under unsupervised settings. More often than not, (real) people put into these situations have ended up worse off.

Agreed. Despite the progress in their relationship so far, even Inwoo hoped that Jiho will help him return to normal aka be able to taste again. That was a huge hint from the author indicating that Jiho was not able to instigate the desired recovery. Furthermore, the account of past events hinted at the fact that Inwoo had done everything to recover (including therapy), and nothing worked.
Right now, the storyline showed that Inwoo was dangerously thin which can lead to death. From that perspective, it is my opinion that when he gave the contact information to the Mom, Jiho was in effect willing to sacrifice his relationship with Inwoo to save Inwoo's life.
Like I said this isn't like last time where it's a forced meet up, it's over phone, Mc just gave her his number, if the mom contacts him that's up to her if the ml responds to that contact that's up to the ml and if the ml mom does decide to contact im betting that the Mc will be there with the ml when that happens so he won't go through this alone
I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying that would be the fantasy-esque resolution.
It's a terrible scenario to be in, either way.
I'm low key on inwoo's side on this one, it isn't like last time where he's forcing a meet-up he just gave her his contact it's ultimately up to them to decide if they wanna take things further. Yall have to understand the mc's urgency here he can feel his boyfriend's bones, he's STARVING HIMSELF for goodness sake do you know how terrifying that is?? Unable to do anything as your significant other slowly kills themselves?? and unless he doesn't overcome his trauma he's most likely gonna die from hunger if depression doesn't kill him first. Inwoo needs that push weather he's ready for ot or not
