Why buildup for angst just for it to end in 3 chapters

I don’t know why many authors are allergic to making characters suffer from their own consequences and resolving the conflict as soon as possible.

I’m not hating on Woohyun, because he was realistically written and his actions were understandable. There were a few annoying moments, but I couldn’t actually hate him, because overall he was a good guy.

But I just don’t get the author. The whole manhwa was building up for the angst moment when the Doha ‘losses’ the bet and have to separate, but then we just got a time skip and everything got resolved with one conversation. If it was that easy, why tf didn’t they talk before Doha leaving? There were so many moments in school where Woohyun could’ve just talked to Doha or just called him a few times. He didn’t have a problem confessing to the teacher, but when the guy you like (and who likes you back) is leaving, because he thinks you like another dude, NOW you decide to play chicken?

I was waiting for the delicious angst and chasing from Woohyun, because he took Doha’s love for granted, but it got resolved too quickly.
