Suo just wants Geon to be honest. Especially when people keep coming up to them and asking Geon about sex. Itās not āthe pastā if itās still occurring.
again, its tough to be honest towards someone who is not typically in a safe space like gay bars and whatnot. hes never had to have this kind of conversation and its so tough watching him being driven into a corner like that bc i empathize with him as someone who is queer and korean. i dont think suo even thinks that his promiscuous sex life is still on going, im pretty sure hes just listening to the terrible advice that's being given to him. but he doesnt know those people and should have trusted is ORIGINAL instinct in letting geon process his feelings before having a conversation as sensitive as this
what confuses me is why suo is so fixated on knowing geon's past sex life like why does he care so much, its not like geon cheated or anything. he was just enjoying adult activities as an adult it should not be this big of a deal. geon spent his entire life surpressing the fact that he is gay, so its only natural for him to find it hard to talk about these kinds of things, especially to someone who wasnt originally gay or ever had the gay experience in a conservative country. suo is focused on the wrongt thing. fixating on geon's past sex life is only driving him up a wall, making him feel like he has to choose between his relationship and his trauma. what he needs is a patient and understanding voice to let him know that no matter what kind of promiscuous past he had, he will still be loved unconditionally and suo is not doing that i cant blame him bc he couldnt possibly know whats stressing geon out so much, but u cant deny that his tone and delivery are interrogative and confrontational when it should not be
