No....thats not what we saw or learned here. His concern wasn't for Bum, it was for himself. This whole chapter was about his ow feelings. He only clings to Bum to make himself feel better. It made him feel more human and less like his father to treat Bum "kindly" so he tried to do that. But he snapped because he felt rejected. While drowning Bum he didn't even stop because he realized he was hurting Bum or cared about drowning him, he only stopped because he saw himself acting like his father and didn't like how that felt. He does NOT care about Bum. He only cares about himself.
I totally see your perspective on this because of how he treated Bum in the past to now but why did he reassure Bum that it was okay, that he wasn't "dirty"? At first he blamed Bum about what happened then learned that was not the right course to deal with the situation. Since Bum "lashed out". I mean he could've killed Bum already like he did to all his past victims but for some reason he won't kill him, he always stops right before Bum will actually die.
We just learned in this chapter that he doesn't want to be like his father. If Sang-woo truly believed that he wouldn't have killed all those other people. I feel like there's a sense of care ( might be little) for Bum in his twisted head.
I feel like Bum is different for him... Again I get where your coming from but this how I see it(▰˘◡˘▰)

Bum is only different for him because he is so desperate for approval and easy to control. He doesn't try to run and just takes whatever Sangwoo throws at him. This chapter was super clear. He was trying to do and say what he thought Bum wanted to hear, which is why he was so pissed when it didn't work and he was rejected despite acting in a way he knew should have been correct to get what he wanted. He has displayed time and time again that he understands normal responses and ways to interact with people and that he can mimic it and play suitable roles. Sangwoo got desperate after seeing his own image overlap with his fathers. And he only saw this BECAUSE he overlaps Bum with his own mother. That is the only significance Bum holds to Sangwoo and the author has made it soooo clear. He starts to freak out and have so many mixed feelings because he goes back and forth seeing Bum as his mother. I don't know how else the author can make this clear...I think too many people here want to view this relationship with rose tinted goggles. This is not a bl story, this is a psychological thriller and horror tale about abuse. I know we want to believe Sangwoo can function normally and feel genuine care for Bum, but Sangwoo is literally, and the author has made this clear, unable to do this. He is not a healthy adult. He did not develop in a situation that allowed him to learn how to have the same feelings and emotions you and I experience. He literally can not. We need to stop trying to project onto his and read him as he is and like many people in this world are. There is not hope for Sangwoo.
There is so much character development for Sang-woo in this chapter that it's mind blowing, even he is: http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/killing_stalking/mf/tr_chapter-27/pg-122/
He was literally shook the entire chapter.
We can confirm that he actually does care/ has feelings for Yoon Bum in this chapter because he was actually distressed when Yoon Bum almost died.
But Sang-woo's problem is that he doesn't know how to show that he cares or know how to show love. He clearly has a trauma that has made him the messed up person that he is today..aka his daddy. I hope he can try to become more sane and treat Yoon Bum better.
