***SPOILERS - I'm addicted to this story as there are no free raws I purchased the Korean chapters. For anyone who is interested here are spoilers up to chapter 21***
In chapter 15/16 Cirrus gets Skylar to pretend to be his boyfriend to piss his stepmother off. But she isn't buying it, so in order to prove it Cirrus suddenly grabs Skylar and kisses him without his consent, which shocks Skylar. The kiss lasts quite a long time and Skylar low-key kisses Cirrus back as there's tongue involved (and Skylar is also blushing). When they break apart his stepmother storms off in a rage and Cirrus starts laughing about how hilarious her reaction was. At this point Skylar starts having some sort of panic attack. The kiss brought back some memories from his past (in middle school I think). We see a flashback of him in a classroom, blindfolded and another boy is kissing him. I'm not sure if it was entirely consensual. After the flashback Skylar starts crying and throwing up. Cirrus is offended and tells Skylar he doesn't have some kind of disease. After that they go their separate ways.
That night Skylar has a nightmare about the incident in the classroom. He starts throwing up again in the toilet and wakes his sister. He begs her not to tell their mother about what happened. Skylar keeps thinking about the dream and his kiss with Cirrus. He gets so worked up that he chews his lip until it bleeds. At school the next day he is so tired he falls asleep during his midterm exams.
The next day the teacher calls Skylar to the teacher's office to give him shit over failing his exam. Skylar is devasted. Afterwards he goes to PE class where the teacher asks Cirrus to explain the rules of badminton to Skylar as he arrived late to class. Skylar fantasies about smashing Cirrus' over the head repeatedly with the bat (lol). Cirrus tries to talk to Skylar but he ignores him and asks the teacher if he can be excused as he feels sick. Cirrus goes after him. He assumes Skylar is acting weird because it was his first kiss, so he tells him not to take it so seriously as it was just a joke and didn't mean anything. Skylar snaps and punches Cirrus in the face.
The two of them argue back and forth, then Skylar punches Cirrus in the stomach. After this Cirrus grabs Skylar and is about to hit back when he notices two girls walking down the stairs. They stop and ask if the boys are fighting. Cirrus pretends like they were just messing around and starts to leave but stops when Skylar asks him why he is so concerned with what people think of him and protecting his image / reputation or whatever. Cirrus turns, grabs Skylar and almost kisses him again but Skylar freaks out and pushes him away.
Afterwards Cirrus meets up with Chan-il and his other friends. They go for food but Cirrus can't eat. He keeps starring at Chan-il and wonders what Skylar likes about him. He imagines how differently Skylar would have reacted if it had been Chan'il who kissed him and the thought seems to irratate him.
In chapter 21 the class are going on their school trip. Skylar is angry when he finds out that Cirrus changed the group names before handing it in and is now part of Group 6 instead - Skylar's group. Cirrus thinks about how he originally did it because he thought it would be funny to mess with Skylar, but now he seems to genuinely want to use it as a opportunity to get back on good terms with Skylar. When they are going into the hotel room Cirrus offers to help Skylar with his luggage but he refuses his help. In the room Cirrus keeps trying to make conversation but Skylar tells him to leave and go back to the group he was originally supposed to be with.
Back at Skylar's home his mum is cleaning his room while he is gone and finds his recent exam results...
That's pretty much everything so far. The Korean version of this series is on hiatus at the moment until the end of May so it will be awhile before we find out what happens next. Enjoy!

this was translated in a bad way ( i mean no offense by this but the overall feel of the chapter hasn't really been well communicated linguistically into English ) - i read the RAWs and have a moderate understanding of hangul:
. jiwook is stressed out that he did poorly on the exam whereas seungeon got 1st place and has been getting first place since he entered highschool but jiwook wouldn't know that since he was on a break.
he finds this out when the teacher tells him seungeon is actually a top class student, jiwook calculates this with the fact that seungeon doesn't actually need to study at all and therefore all those study sessions at jiwooks house were pointless for seungeon. TD;LR jiwook translates this as seungeon was just playing around.
( this is where this chapters translation falters ) in the school courtyard, jiwook tells seungeon that since he's so perfect he shouldn't worry about someone like jiwook who has to slave away studying only to get bad marks. seungeon is confused as to why jiwook is taking out his stress on him when seungeon has quite literally done absolutely nothing wrong.
seungeon says to jiwook that he doesn't understand why it's his fault that jiwook got bad marks when they spent the same amount of time studying in the same house, in the same room, right next to each other. seungeon says that jiwook needs to swallow his pride and admit that it's not the end of the world to do poorly on an exam and it's even worse to take it out on someone.
seungeon says he will pay for everything jiwook needs in life so jiwook can just focus on studying to get good grades so he can get into a good college so him and seungeon can study together to become lawyers in the future - he's willing to do it all because he genuinely meant it when he said he wants to become a lawyer to help jiwook who also wants to be a lawyer.
jiwook isnt really willing to listen and says they should end the relationship to which seungeon admits that above all else in the world, he likes jiwook the most - he cares about jiwook the most, if jiwook is upset that seungeon got good grades then seungeon is willing to fail all his future exams and tutor jiwook so he can be the top student - he doesn't want to lose jiwook over trivial things.
jiwook still isn't listening so seungeon forces a kiss on jiwook as he's desperate - literally - to not lose jiwook but jiwook runs home where he worries about paying for his tuition when he has rent to pay, then has a internal monologue about how he didn't actually mean anything he said to seungeon in the courtyard.
jiwook continues this monologue by worrying about what if seungeon suddenly stops liking jiwook because of what he said to him and they never see each other ever again.
TD;LR there is no toxicity happening here, this is a case of a character being upset over their grades when they tried so hard to get good grades and then being blindsided by their stress and saying things they don't mean to their boyfriend, who just wants the best for the character and is offering his help.
if you want to force toxicity here please force it on jiwook - I'm not sure why every chapter a lot of you try to make seungeon into the criminal here when actually he is the person who is trying to help.

I recently started re-reading the entire series again and I noticed something very interesting. Jooin and Yawhi have loads of sex, but have never once kissed. I find that fact very interesting. Jooin did go in for a kiss back in chapter 13/14, but Yawhi turned away. Hmm...just makes me wonder what's going on there. He is happy to have sex but kissing is a no-go
