I feel like the length of time that passed after Jaeha's divorce is undervalued by most people. Eunho was understandably excited to finally win over Jaeha, but the pace their relationship was moving at was too fast. Not to mention the guilt Jaeha must have felt at the prospect of settling down with someone else when his ex-wife asked him if he ever actually loved her. That would almost be like a betrayal to all they shared. And Jaeha knew he was getting swept away by everything, knew he would be unable to turn down Eunho if given the opportunity to propose.
Jaeha is intent on repenting for all the accumulated hurt he's caused Eunho over the years and Eunho is taking advantage of the fact it's obvious that they're both still in love with each other. I love the emotional complexity to the struggles Jaeha and Eunho face as a couple: the interalized homophobia and emotional baggage Jaeha carries and Eunho's persistence on not letting him carry it alone. Eunho being willing to try to understand Jaeha despite everything and adamant that Jaeha is still worthy of love at the end of it all.
Shit m or writing is so good and so amazing to describe the situation

I wish I could hit that thumbs up button a hundred times. You are so right.
If I were to disagree with anything, it would be the fact that due to his immatureness, Eunho is transforming their relationship into a toxic one. Before it was just his positive pushiness and his will to never give up, now there is manipulation, domination and accentuating Jaeha's guilt. That's where my issue with Eunho's behavior is. He's doesn't understand that Jaeha's process of overcoming his insecurities and fears takes a very very long time, and rushing things like that may work, yes, but he's suffering more than he should.
Anyone else keep coming back to this just for the art? Kaede's pretty darn cute with all his posturing. I'm always drawn to ukes that have asshole-ish tendencies, but aren't necessarily bad guys. His playful confidence is attractive too.
