It's not that it's not enough. You're seeing it wrong. The issue at hand is Si-eon doesn't know how to show love other than doing acts of kindness and service because that's how he grew up knowing love. He was never shown proper love, and the most important thing, selfish love. Therefore he can't selfishly love either and he's given up / grown numb to emotions of love and affection. Which is what now is the issue with all his relationships. He's given up, has such low self-worth, and cannot selfishly love which causes all these issues on his partners side. At this point, if he can't make them happy with his love language, and has given up on being vulnerable and trying to love with all his trauma regarding relationships, what's the point of keeping them trapped with him? Why should he selfishly keep them around if they aren't happy with him? He knows they will be happier without him. Or so he thinks.

@TooBrokeForLezhin you're right...and we only learn those things when we're kids and ask that love and attention from our parents or the person who's taking care of us...when the relationship of the people taking care of us is not good, our mindset becomes of somebody who is insecure in loving or making decisions...in case of siye-on he starts good in his relationships, but when it's time to take the next step, he' too insecure and afraid to really love that person and he preffers to give up on his partner rather than try to make it work in the next layer of the iceberg of love...it's really complex psichology with people but i rather like it more the story to be slow paced if it's treated like this story rather to start fast and end fast...
