All right. As I tried to title this post… This will not really much spoiler talk for chapter 20, but more like my personal take on things and what I think will happen! These chapters are not that long but I always feel so compelled to say so much after reading/looking over the brand new Korean raws so keep scrolling through my typing madness if you’re curious about what I want to discuss this week…
Some minor spoiler scroll dots incoming:

Okay. First off, I would like to present you an image I put together to express how amusing Alex’s jealous expressions actually are:
https://i.imgur.com/279Fp4g.png
Secondly, I would like to state that even though I’m joking about Alex actually showing some feelings here, I actually think he’s my favorite character from this manhwa. I believe Mingwa named this BJ Alex for a reason and she also has big plans for Jiwon’s character along with his development/story. Jiwon is going through some interesting internal struggles during chapter 20 and I’m very curious to see what she reveals to us in chapter 21.
I’m stressing this some more. I don’t think Jiwon is all that bad of a guy. He’s certainly rude, mind you, but he’s been rather forthcoming about what he wants and does not want from DG and I think this fricking male dominator broadcasting jockey BDSM sly bastard of doom isn’t really being that supportive towards Jiwon. He has his own agenda and I think he’s going to go after DG. Stay tuned to see if that really all goes down…
Oh, and final note, BJ MD was going on about how DG’s face is nice and all, but goddamn it... I think DG has both a nice face and a hot, sculpted little body! Those manhwa semes are silly.
Thanks for reading! ヾ(☆▽☆)

I have some of my own predictions about what I gathered from chapter 20 but firstly, I think that you're spot on! I absolutely agree that with what you said about Jiwon's character development for this story. He totally exhibited a lot of complex emotions that are coming to surface that we get to see in chapter 20. It's actually quite amusing to see him suffer from his lack understanding of his own feelings of why he's so worked up about BJ MD's interest in DG. I'm not sure if he'll pursue DG seriously but perhaps just to rile Jiwon up because it's not secret that Jiwon can't conceal his feelings, you can read it through his facial expressions! I think BJ MD picks that up. So my first theory is that I think when MD mentions the cute guy behind the counter, I noticed that Mingwa drew emphasized DG but also drew Chan in there as well so perhaps he's not specially referring to DG for purposes of teasing Alex (in 19, When Jiwon came into the shop, DG spoke to him but Jiwon brushed him off and MD took notice of that by mentioning briefly to Alex) and for Jiwon as well as the viewers to assume it's DG from the context of the situation.. I also had this feeling from chapter 18 following 19 that Chan and MD might become a thing because of sharing the same fetish but also, just how BL stories play out with the foreshadowing of the second couples usually.
This is also the beginning of angst as we approach some climax to the story I think because we knew that DG has been feeling angst and experiencing a lot of complex feelings about his relationship with Jiwon but now Jiwon is only beginning to feel angsty. I think that maybe in the upcoming chapter, Jiwon might be aggressive or do something that DG is uncomfortable with which may lead to DG getting angry and perhaps be the path of MD's character development in the story and jiwon's self realization (probably after the denial stage).
Jiwon's character to me is interesting because he's totally rude like you said and was totally an aggressive violating fuck the first time he had sex with DG, and coercing him into having sex in the school. Although, I don't condone any behavior like that, I think that Jiwon isn't a complete asshole either because when you observe his mindful school president persona, you can see he is like that when he's being "normal" with DG. For example, he usually considers DG's needs like going to Jiwon's apartment for sex, wiping him down, and returning his sweater. He seems to take acknowledge DG's and tends to them in his own way. So, it's just strange lol.
I look forward to see how this story plays out!
/essay lmao
Lol.
I must try to give more spoiler tags to avoid angering anyone too much but I do want to reply to you..

Yes, I think this manhwa really can make some of us wonder how this is actually all going to play out. I must commend Mingwa, though. She puts out some really nice looking stuff for only a week's timeframe and the story is actually pretty good. I've read some strange yaoi stories in my days so... Hah. I want Jiwon to wake up and change but it doesn't have to be instant... It's more realistic if the artist gives it all to us in small doses. I think, anyway! Very cliffhanger-like and teasey, though!
Spoilers
I totally agree with you on almost everything you have said except that MD was referring to Chan instead of DG as a possible male submittive. From what I gathered in the previous chapter, it seemed to me that MD noticed how easy it was to get DG flustered, and leaned in closer as a sort of teasing. I think he thought that part of DG was cute. In chapter 20, he leaned in closer once again to get DG to blush. I think he will totally be going for DG, even though he said he wouldn’t. Maybe because he’s actually interested or he picked up on Alex’s feelings (because Alex totally gave that out lol) and his sadistic side can’t help but pick on him. Although, I do feel that MD will end up with Chan. Either way, I can’t wait to read the progression of this story and Alex’s jealous expressions are not enough to satisfy me and I’ll be needing more of them.
Maybe
he was actually leaning in to check out Chan behind DG. Otherwise he would have made this https://toonkor.com/data/file/wtoon/151999910232.jpg (second box) "oh! what's this?" expression as soon as DG blushed the first time and not out of nowhere, like this, when he was about to pay.
Also, showing Chan in the background is a typical "you are being tricked" move.
Some official spoilers I guess...
.
I was making a joke in my original post since both Jiwon and BJ MD have had major reactions to DG's blushing cute face. I do believe Alex is actually only freaking out because he's scared of BJ MD finding out about him and DG...
I truly want to believe Jiwon/Alex is jealous though. He's really showing some genuine turmoil... Especially when BJ MD was poking around to see if Jiwon knew anyone working at the coffee shop. Jiwon's reactions, as of the latest chapters, seem like he's about to crumble down soon and I feel kind of sad about it.
Anyway! DG is totally Jiwon's type and I know Jiwon wants more, but he's being quite stubborn and I hope Mingwa reveals the true reasons behind all of it (soon... please... maybe after some crazy sex toy play/sex and a smutty shower scene between DG/Alex, thank you!) ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Here are the raws (but don't forget to support this artist on Lezhin!)

So we're introduced to BJ MD (#2 on the BJ ranking we see in chapter 7) and I enjoyed his character for about 2 seconds until it was revealed he's just a sly version of Alex. Poor DG... He's totally going to get all caught up in this.
I am still waiting for more of Alex's backstory. Like, why do BJ MD and BJ Alex know each other's real identities? Why is Alex so angry/worried? My thoughts are he doesn't want to lose his top spot and perhaps the first love interest Alex had may still play a role here and BJ MD will bring him back in.
Or... BJ MD is going to ask DG to do SM play on his stream and that will make Alex go nuts. I kind of want to see that!
Let me know your thoughts! (≧∀≦)
He could be the guy from Jiwon's flashback when they had sex
Eh eh a rival appears. Our little DG has no clue but a battle between two popular cam boys will begin he will be the yummy cake
I don't think BJ MD is Alex's first love interest. BJ MD is just there to add some drama... I don't mind though since BJ MD looks full of swag and he's also hot, lol. I would have preferred a really polite AND hot seme to have come into this story, but I believe this artist just wants a bunch of assholes to be around DG. I think the only non-asshole characters are DG's supportive coworkers! I love Chanwoo! (=・ω・=)
I’m bored so I wanted to start a pro and con list in regards to Alex and DG’s compatibility! Feel free to chime in with more, if you want...
Pros:
Alex secretly has the hots for DG
Alex is hot
Alex carries DG
Alex cleans DG
Alex JR loves DG
Alex pays for stuff
Alex kisses DG
Alex is actually the bigger dork
Cons:
Alex is an asshole
Well, I think I'm leaning towards the pros here and will say they're almost a match made in heaven! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
A 100% agree lol Alex is perfect for DG (except He is an asshole)
the bar is too low when it comes to semes.At the end of the day, he is using Dg and treating him like shit.things that you say do not count.
What a beautiful, realistic ride this has been. I looked over the last chapter of this part of the series and I do hope some kind souls finish translating this to English.. it's wonderful... I'm so thankful Ogeretsu Tanaka put so much time and effort telling this story and I encourage anyone who hasn't read this entire series yet to start ASAP.
Chapter 10 starts the pretty hot sex scenes and they only seem to be getting better as DG gets more comfortable and Alex asserts his rough sex with some preparation considerations... However, I want to talk about chapters 15 and 16 for a bit!

For how threatening Alex was at first, I'm kind of surprised how much he accepts/trusts DG now...? I guess DG's cute, blushing smile was enough to start melting Alex's ice cold heart and this allowed Alex to let DG sleep in his bedroom a bit while he started his 10 o'clock broadcast.
If I were Alex, though, wouldn't I be worried DG would knock on the door at some point? Lol, I hope I don't get overwhelmed with secondhand embarrassment for them in chapter 17...
The art and story pacing are still top notch, though. I have to give props and this web toon is certainly one of my favorites right now. (=・ω・=)
I think DG is too innocent and obedient that it makes Alex lets his guard down.
Meanwhile DG is the only one that Alex can have sex with so far (his birthmark is too easy to be found out), this also gives some bargaining power to DG ;P
I agree with you. I want DG to just leave Alex's apartment at the beginning of chapter 17 and make Alex wonder what happened, for once, though... DG is adorable and he should start using that to his advantage ffs! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Where can i get 17th chapter? Only saw 16th yesterday. DG is so simpleminded and sweet, I hope Alex will trust him more. Now he hardly can hold back around DG, he will hurt him badly, we will get Alex's past, how he will change couse of DG and how he will win him back. That's what I think will happen. Any theories? (▰˘◡˘▰)
Chapter 17 will be out on Lezhin 2/9/18 https://www.lezhin.com/ko/comic/bjalex (hopefully, I believe there's some drama going on with Lezhin but I'm doing whatever I can to try and support this author)
I do think Alex is going to hurt DG... Probably pretty soon. I think someone else is going to find out about their relationship and/or that Jiwon is BJ Alex. This is going to probably reignite Alex's rage, but hopefully we'll get some more backstory as to why Alex isn't really the kindest guy and then we'll see a bunch of hot sex and a happy ending.
I love the art so much, and coupled with the story that has been keeping me guessing I decided to buy all the chapters I could off Lezhin! I do have a question for those who have been keeping up with the Korean version (up to chapter 14) and here is my question below... SPOILER WARNING...

Do you guys really think Jiwon (Alex) will eventually develop romantic feelings for Dong-gyun? I ask because I am kind of doubting it now with his short-fused temper that keeps popping up each chapter... Only with the latest chapter did I detect any slight sadness (particularly while looking at his phone in the car, but that could also be read as an upset/annoyed expression, I guess...)
It would make sense for these two to be on a roller coaster ride that eventually has them be together, but what if another person will be added to spice up the drama? I am just curious on your thoughts... Thanks! :)
My spoiler expand thing didn't work right, I'm sorry ><
I've read them too and I know that Alex is being a 'Big Jerk' but he will eventually fall for him and he'll fall hard (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
They're just sex friends and he use him due to erectile dysfunction but the mc worship him(he's a fan after all) so it looks like he ignores the reality that much.
I didn’t see any expression on his face while he was looking at his phone in the car waiting for DG.
He’s never been nice towards him (after he found out he was Alex).
He was nice to him before because he wanted to keep up appearances.
I’m starting to think that something happened that caused him to be such an asshole and dislike being “tied” down to someone. He seemed nice when he was thinking back to his first time.
I hope
Is it just me or i cant find this manga on lezhin apps???
oh you should download the app from their website (only works for android); the official app from the apple app store and google play doesn't contain any mature content
Thanks! Apple is such a pussy. Why not post doraemon while they’re at it
Alex is an asshole, so far.. I mean, I kind of get it since he doesn't want to be found out and such, but what the heck is Kang-hun's problem? So rude! （￣へ￣）
Raws up to chapter 26 - https://ba-raw.livejournal.com/tag/deadlock This raw scan provider is also looking for donations to get a couple magazines next year if you want to help!
(≧∀≦)
Somehow i cant read chapter 18 :( any ideas ? Is 17 there?
"I thought he was a fucking pushover" Jiwon said...
"Maybe I shouldn't have brought him here..." Jiwon said...
Well, mark this day on the calendars, ladies, because Jiwon's reaction to DG's adorable grinning face is just the start! I believe Jiwon is totally fighting his feelings for DG and he should just give in because DG is absolutely adorable anyway.
Jokes aside, though... I do wonder if he was really burned in the past with love because of Mingwa's exact word choice while DG's smiling all cute-like and Jiwon/Alex having a reaction that even seemed to surprise himself.
Lol but oh jeez I've been so hooked on this for a few months now and this manhwa better have a climactic moment with Alex groveling over DG and showing him he really wants to love and be loved or I'm gonna riot. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Like I say, if I don’t see Alex crash and burn I won’t be satisfied (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Oh God yes, I'm the same I won't be satisfied if Alex does not crash and burn.
