Well, it's a blank stare, and I'm baffled that he's not looking at YO's face with longingness. Or regret. Or anything? I give him enough credit to think he'd been sulking after getting rejected. Him wearing the watch means he's still carrying a torch for YO. So.....what?
Jaehyuk is usually expressionless. The 1st and 2nd panels of his face are focused on where his eyes are looking and I do get a sense of longing in his eyes in those 2 panels. In all 3 panels of his face, his eyes are intently staring at Yeon Oh's face. He's had 6 months to process the rejection and since then this is probably the 100th time that he's seen Yeon Oh's face on a screen or billboard. Maybe he's accepted that he can't have Yeon Oh and doing his best not to wallow in self pity and regret. TBH I want Jaehyuk to see Yeon Oh with someone else, that would wipe the blank expression right off his face and leave him emotionally in pieces.

And in response to JH's heartfelt words, YO asks if JH needs anything more than the USB (Not sure if he's playing dumb or mocking JH for not following through his own words?). YO sobers up and reminds JH how, months back, he couldn't even force himself to lie about liking YO, yet now....JH cuts in to explain, but YO says he can't even picture himself being happy with JH right now.
JH says YO doesn't have to answer him now. He simply felt it necessary to let YO know.
"You just felt like you had to tell me now...?" YO remarks how JH has it easy while he himself has to agonize each time he wants to pour his heart out. He reminds JH how, not too long ago, YO begged him to say the words he's always longed to hear. Despite knowing full well they'd just be empty, YO still wanted to know what it was like.
Even if JH means what he says now, YO's not one to take things in stride. Anything JH does or say can either lift him up or bring him down, and always he's too helpless to hide it. Even rubbish news can render him restless. He hates that he feels this way and there's little doubt he'll continue to do so.
YO says JH will remain important to him and that even though he's regretted falling in love, there were still happy moments to look back on.
He adds that even now, he still has feelings for JH. However, he maintains that he still wants their ties severed, and YO proves so by declaring JH's sudden appearance serving as their third and final meeting, burning the bridge that JH has been mending. He asks that JH keep his promise (that this will truly be the end).
With this, they part with good memories. As YO begins to walk away, JH grabs his hand.
"You said you still have feelings for me," JH pleads, but YO has nothing more left to say. He looks at JH for the last time, squeezes his hand in goodbye, then lets go. JH watches him leave.
*
Having put enough distance between them, YO pauses for a cigarette. Tears well up in his eyes as he recalls JH's admission of wanting to make him happy.
On his flight back home, JH, too, thinks about YO's admission to still having feelings for him. He may have not gotten what he sought, but a flicker of hope remains.
***
[Six months later...meaning, it's either August or September now? Meaning, YO has celebrated his 26th birthday and we weren't witness to it. Meaning, that's a long damn time without sex, but I digress]
YO's hard work rewards him with continued success, and the same is true for JH. Having been victor in the now concluded trial, he is set to take on the mantle of vice presidency.
*
Elsewhere, JH gets ready for his inauguration. On his wrist, he wears the only other thing that YO has given him: his Christmas gift. Which...kind of...looks like...he's wearing upside down?
On the way to the ceremony, a massive banner catches JH's attention. On it is YO's character.....from the production filmed the last February (I think?). JH gazes at YO's face.
[END]
Kwon, love looks good on you.
Anyways, author says the end is nigh. 2 more chapters? 7?
And oh, Kwon's birthday is tomorrow! You ain't getting laid, my lad.
Thank you (●'◡'●)ﾉ
My heart aches for them but I love this angst, where they both suffering from the situation.
Thank you for your hard work. I must say that I've read all your spoilers and they are always well written and summarised. Thanks for your effort! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Well, YO turned JH down. JH seems to be back to his own self some days later.
[Spoiler]
I'm so proud of YO, but it's now making sad. Maybe JH needs to restore YO's faith in him the hard way. Kwon, know that nothing worth having ever comes easy.
[Spoiler] Something I've been asking for fucking months has finally been granted!
He's wearing the watch YO gifted him last Christmas. Thank you, Kwon.
Do you think theyre gonna get together in the end?? Im really hoping so bc i hate bad endings in bls
Of course they will. Author said they're endgame. Doncha worry.
I'm very glad Yeon Oh turned him down, he admitted Jaehyuk will always mean something to him. He fantasized about what it would be like to wake up as real lovers in his dream but he knows Jaehyuk isn't that man and isn't the man Yeon Oh needs him to be. Jaehyuk only gets to see Yeon Oh's face on screens and on billboards now. Even though Yeon Oh was conflicted, he chose himself over Jaehyuk, finally a MC that is strong and loves himself more than the ML.
Thank u
Chapter 78 (in Korean) tonight if all goes well.

Hold up! This is omegaverse?
No.
Praying w u rn
...to confess his feelings this month. Fairly sure Han Garam will reject his stupid ass...but will Seo Yeonoh?
Do you, guys, think YO will be there? He's kind of "working" for his company. If so...who will approach who? I'm guessing YO. Will they talk more past congratulatory shit? I knew there was a reason JH put on that watch on what would be an important night.
Also, I can't imagine how JH's going to win him back.
Almost forgot, it's JH's birthday today.
Erratum: YO may be 26 right now, not 25 as I previously assumed.
game face on eye on the prize he be catchin yeonoh at his inauguration
