I understand heewon so much in this chapter after all the ra**, abuse and physical, mental and emotional torture that he endured From that son of a bi*** he couldn't bring himself to lie that they are lovers he saw it as kangwoo being too cruel for wanting him to accept him as a lover after everything he suffered he would rather continue seeing himself as a dog than acknowledge kangwoo's feelings because after all his sufferings it's really not fair for him to accept the tag 'lovers' I get him so much i loved thst he hurt kangwoo's feelings this time around I know he's going to get hit but sadly it's worth it😔
