Sadly, it's the rich mentality. The rich can do no wrong. Anyone poor is beneath them and can be treated as less than human. So Cho (I'll take your word for it since I didn't bother to remember his name) thinks Yeon is nothing but a money hungry actor who would do anything to even exist in the same room as someone like Kwon. 🙄 Meanwhile, Yeon just wants to cherish his first love.
Meanwhile Kwon will only be seen as taking advantage of any means to get the job done. So it's like he's doing something charitable by humouring Yeon-oh.

All I know, like you had ,mentioned before, Kwon needs to apologise for calling Yeon a wh***, and berating him after he tried to tell him about the SA. 

(Part of me, a very small part, almost felt like Cho liked Kwon romantically. Or rather, wanted to be the only one Kwon depends on. I say this because it felt like his animosity toward Yeon-oh grew after he noticed the subtle changes in Kwon like Kwon was genuinely caring for Yeon-oh 🤔)

I haven't continued Pearl boy since the very early chapters. The r@pe scene had deterred me completely. It's so weird how some of these manhwa all line up. When something bad happens in one, something bad happens in another. Same when it's something good. I'm just happy things are going relatively well in Night at the Sea (aside from all the miscommunication).
