Honestly, when Guwon said he liked him back I immediately thought that it was a strange response. I didn't feel like he really completely meant it especially because he was so deadpan earlier.
I think Guwon doesn't really understand a lot of human emotions past like simple things. But he wants to protect the town and the people in it and will do things for them. I think in his mind, he sees that Jinwo likes him and he wants Jinwo to be happy and to stay so he should do stuff that he likes. I don't think he's doing it maliciously, just that he thinks this is sort of what he's SUPPOSED to do, even if it causes a physiological reaction like vomiting. I think he is just looking at it very neutrally.
