Take a break.

The author is doing a great job with Seungho's arc, even more that she must see the annoying pricks who use the hashtag of her story to whine endlessly about the character not doing what they want.
Jesus Fucking Christ, if only we were blessed with these people following their word and actually dropping the story every time Seungho 'disappoints' them.... instead of having them hanging around chapter after chapter whining and promising to drop it.
If the story is frustrating you, take a break, go read something else. Wait for the 'development' that fits your formula and then come back... or don't.
The outrage over this chapter is ridiculous. And what is the reason? Does Seungho actually go through with what he thought he could? No. He acted exactly like it would make sense for the sequence of events .... he got mocked by Min, then Nakyum, unintentionally, makes it worse because his comment hit Seungho as both confirmation that his feeling is ridiculous but also looked like a rejection ... and amazingly, what Seungho say?.... does he goes on a rant about Nakyum being a lowborn or formulate a brilliant answer... all he could do is an agonizing .'right'..... he couldn't even deny it properly. He is heartbroken over Nakyum's dismissal of his feelings ( not that NK is doing to humiliate him, NK just doesn't find himself worth it).
Then Seungho does what he must do to prove himself that he is indifferent.... he tries, really tries this time to treat Nakyum as any other of his whores. Is everyone missing the point that he just couldn't do it? He drinks, he makes Nakyum drink, he tries to put himself and Nakyum in a state of complete numbness ( and I believe he does this to NK exactly because he intended to go through with it but didn't want NK to actually suffer thus he gave him a way to be out of it).
Seungho isn't able to hurt Nakyum anymore. He can't see him with other men, he can't see him getting hurt.... he was always bothered by his actions to NK more than he was ever bothered by anything else he did to anyone but obviously he become more aware of it. He even let is out once 'It hurts' (in the scene where he wants NK to eat his food). It hurts to see NK sad or hurt and this chapter, when Seungho tried to cross that line and actually see NK getting done by others, his expression shows that he finally got it. He is in love with Nakyum and this is the chapter he settled this in his head.
Now go whine some more about the story not going quick enough for you.
