@TeamLeewon I agree on leaving Garam alone as a better choice of action for Jaehyuk, and probably in general when two people in a relationship have different views on living in the closet vs. coming out. This wouldn't suit Jaehyuk's character, though: he plunges in every situation fully straightforward, stepping aside is not an option for him if he wants smth dearly. Extreems meet, as they say. Garam might be a total opposite to Jaehyuk as far as their characters are concerned, buy maybe that's the most effective way to help Garam cope with his anxieties: left alone, he'd probably calm down somewhat, but I doubt he'd deal his fears on his own. He's very insecure. And stubborn as he thinks Jaehyuk's coming out might be a bother to him as well. Garam doesn't seem to check that other people might not care at all about all this. So here he consciously keeps to his insecurities. 
Sure, the author will find the way to put everything right, and I think that's the right choice to put Garam through Jaehyuk's "foolishness". He needs to see another side to being gay - when others don't care how you live your life, that is.

@Tetiana I like that idea. Perhaps the author is setting up Garam to learn to trust and have a bit of faith. Jaehyuk is a devoted and dedicated partner. Garam needs to trust that and have a little faith in himself and others. I feel terrible for both of them. I wish Garam would take a leap and really embrace Jaehyuk. I hope he does soon.
