OMFG!!! Now everything makes sense! Remember that chapter where Bum tried to poison Sangwoo? Sangwoo actually anticipated that and switched the pills, just like he did in the past with his mum. He wanted to "test" Bum, and Bum failed. And that's why that night Sangwoo felt perfectly fine whereas Bum felt sick (but that's obvious because he made himself believe he'd eaten poison and thus had an involuntary need to vomit etc.).
Fuck my ass. Sangwoo was suspicious from the very beginning, he never trusted Bum, not until recently when Bum "proved" many times to him he would be always by his side, no matter what Sangwoo does.
But can you blame him? A person that was the closest to him, his parent, his mum tried to poison and kill him, her very own son. That must have twisted Sangwoo A LOT.

Alex seems so desperate now, lmao. But it looks like he's slowly realising he's fallen for DG.
"I just said that to see how he'd react."
"He said what he wanted to and just left. As if he doesn't like me anymore. In some ways, that was the Dong-Gyun I always wanted. So why...?"
"He's totally rejecting me."
I'm telling you, give it a few chapters and you'll have Alex on his knees begging DG to be with him.

Alex is conflicted now. "Should I go for DG, or should I stay away?". That's why he just can't say DG straight in the face that he likes him, because it would be an obvious confrontation that he's so scared of. So he decides to not take a direct approach, but rather manipulate DG into having sex with him ("make-up sex") etc. It probably makes him feel safe, and there's also this possible "benefit": DG staying with him. But as we all could clearly see in this chapter, DG isn't willing to act according to Alex's plan. That's why this story is so fucking interesting.
I knew from the every beginning there's some kind of a childhood trauma behind all Sangwoo's murders. The reason why he's so fucked up now is because he grew up in a household where there was only violence and fear. He couldn't even trust his goddamn mother, a person that's supposed to love you unconditionally. And he was just a vulnerable kid.
