Jin-woo's Candid Confession to Seungho: "If I like you, I can do that much"

Tensions escalated as conflicting perspectives on romance clashed. Jin-woo and Seungho engaged in a candid conversation, confronting the emotional rift that has emerged during their recent relationship.

Seungho expressed feeling hurt by Jin-woo's attitude. The way Jin-woo addresses others, his conversational style, and certain unconscious behaviors in specific situations made Seungho feel uneasy. While Seungho believed he had consistently been accommodating and considerate, this conflict prompted him to stand his ground and voice his true feelings and pride.

Jin-woo's Stance: "I Won't Make Promises I Can't Keep"

At the heart of the conflict was a promise regarding smoking. When Seungho reacted firmly to a question about whether he would be disappointed if Jin-woo failed to quit smoking even after becoming a final couple, Jin-woo shared his thoughts after much deliberation. Jin-woo assessed that there is a high probability he will continue to smoke even after becoming a final couple. Consequently, he decided that rather than making a promise he might not keep and causing disappointment, it was right to be honest about his current situation.

"I hate lying and I want to be honest," Jin-woo stated, revealing his sentiment that while he had accommodated his partner in the past, he could not do so indefinitely. While acknowledging that his emotional expression might have been somewhat extreme, he suggested that the process of conveying his true feelings was necessary.

Confirming the Direction of the Relationship Through Conflict

Both parties viewed this clash as an opportunity to understand each other more deeply. Seungho was surprised to see Jin-woo, who usually moves forward without hesitation, becoming emotionally shaken, but noted that the conversation allowed them to gain a clearer understanding of each other's personalities. They both agreed that facing the conflict head-on was necessary, as it could serve as a turning point to either reconcile or realize they are incompatible and move on.

Jin-woo added a comment rooted in his affection for his partner. "If you truly like someone, I believe you can do that much," Jin-woo said, revealing his firm values regarding the efforts required to maintain a relationship. All eyes are now on how this conflict will shape the future of their relationship.
