During their heated exchanges in the car, Jae Young shows extreme jealousy, while Sang Woo accuses the other of having totally destroyed him since he isn't able to find anyone else attractive and that he'll leave him soon. He concludes saying he's going to replace him with a girlfriend and then falls asleep because he's still really drunk.

Jae Young takes him home, he's all calmed down and cuddly. He wants to properly express his feelings and explains it to him in a bit of a blurry way, which makes it clear to the reader that he loves him, but Sang Woo can't understand. He tells him that he wants to confess his feelings, basically, but that Sang Woo isn't ready yet and he'd rather wait so as not to miss this opportunity. Since he knows that Sang Woo hasn't realized he loves him yet, he thinks he will be rejected if he says he loves him first.

Later, Sang Woo's to make a powerpoint, except that he's doing is just hideous. Jae Young helps him. Sang Woo can't help but tell him that he loves him, totally in awe of his talents. Jae Young can't believe his ears, he wants Sang Woo to repeat himself, but Sang Woo runs away realizing what he said, but how could he say such a thing?

By message, he then asks Jae Young not to see each other during the two weeks of preparation for the exams.

There, at one point, Sang Woo talks with Jihye, the girl who had a crush on him. They talk about what love should be, and Jihye ends up making him understand that love doesn't have to be utilitarian, it's not necessary to procreate and therefore to be a woman with a man. Indeed, love can just be funny and nice, like playing a video game, which he already likes without finding a utilitarian role in it. This comparison makes him accept what he feels because he understands that this isn't the first time that he's outside the semantic system pre-written by society.
Jihye's advice, finally, is to talk about it with his partner. To communicate. But Sang Woo doesn't intend to follow this advice haha.

Indeed, Sang Woo decides to give up everything with Jae Young. No love for them. Even accepting and understanding his own feelings, the problem of leaving for the United States remains impossible to solve in his mind, so the end of their relationship obviously seems to be the only solution.

Later, Jae Young comes to ask him for help to move, and there Sang Woo accepts but ends up freaking out because he finds it really hateful and cruel of him to ask him to help him to leave. In reality, Jae Young wants to move into Sang Woo's apartment by surprising him by going there without telling him right away.

At a moment, Sang Woo can no longer take the situation, he flees by jumping into a taxi. Jae Young chases after him by car through the city to the sea.

There, he convinces Sang Woo to get out of the cab and join him. Sang Woo then tells him again that he has feelings for him. Jae Young tells him it's okay, Sang Woo is ready, he can confess. So he admits, he loves him too. ♥️

This creates a conflict, eventually bursting the abscess, because it's a point on which Jae-Young doesn't want to give in. He prefers to write like that, that's it. Mistakes are okay, it's his identity, and Sang Woo just has to make an effort. He leaves the house but tells him by text that he loves him attaching all the words.

A year and a half after they got married, you have a very cute story with Sang Woo who wants to propose to Jae Young. He prepares a whole plan, extremely cliché, to propose to him, because he has studied his subject well. He especially wants to propose to the restaurant, which is also a hotel, but Jae Young lures him into the toilet to have s**. Each time, there's a problem and he doesn't find the circumstances perfect enough.
Then they come home and he ends up going for it anyway. So Sang Woo gives a powerpoint (!!!) presentation to Jae Young, who can't stop cracking up because it's really totally him and it's adorable. He plans all their life, it's notably planned that they'll go to the US together to live there, also because Jae Young must go there and he refuses that he has made this sacrifice for him. Then he asks him to marry him... but only six years later. It'll be at the time of their seven-year relationship to come. Because that's part of their plan, that'll be the only perfect moment. 
Jae Young obviously says yes and they share rings since that day. 😌

They're going to meet Sang Woo's parents. They decided to go to the United States right after that, Jae Young having planned to follow the course he was to follow there, and Sang Woo having found a job there. They are leaving soon. But before that, Sang Woo wants to tell his parents.

First, Jae Young asked to be introduced as a roommate he gets along with and not as his boyfriend, although Sang Woo wasn't against it at all. It's planned to reveal the thruth later in the evening, when the time's right. Jae Young indeed thinks that Sang Woo doesn't realize that his parents might not accept him, and he knows that they matter a lot to him. So the plan is to tell them gradually over the course of the evening. He wants to do it himself, because he doesn't trust Sang Woo's communication skills, haha.

They remove their rings, which particularly saddens Sang Woo.

At their house, then. The father isn't like Sang Woo at all. He's a writer, sensitive, seems to be very human... He's very very surprised to see that someone supports his son and has been able to create bonds of friendship with him. He's happy while telling himself that it's temporary.

The mother's the spitting image of Sang Woo. They work exactly the same, which Jae Young finds very adorable. But he also think that the mother'll have difficulties to understand their relationship, as his son.

After the meal, Jae Young and Sang Woo are on the couch. Jae Young tells Sang Woo that he's going to tell the father himself that they're a couple, and he thinks it is up to him, that the father will be able to understand and that they'll understand each other since they are both functioning "normally", if I can say.

So Jae Young goes into the garden to join the father and announce their couple.
The father is actually unhappy. When Jae Young asks him to accept him as a son, he says he can't. Not because of homosexuality, he doesn't seem to care a bit, because he thought his son'ld end up alone, so it's not a bad thing. But in reality, he's a very sad opinion of his son, he thinks he's incapable of truly loving and therefore he is afraid that their relationship is doomed to failure.
Jae Young reassures him by telling him that of course, Sang Woo doesn't work like everyone else, but that he regularly tells him that he loves him on his own, and that he's even started to compromise in their relationship, and that, moreover, he was the one who proposed to him. The father can't believe it, he struggles to recognize his son. Then, Jae Young says he'll love his son all his life. I don't well remember, I think he's a irritated by the father's vision of his son too.
Either way, the father is utterly flabbergasted to discover that his son can feel such deep emotions, and he asks Jae-Young to leave him alone so he can think things through.

Jae Young walks into the house. He goes upstairs looking everywhere.

Then, Jae Young goes upstairs again to visit Sang Woo's room.
He notices all the details that make him think of him and all the things that Sang Woo has accumulated.
He notably finds the toy that he represented on his hand once, and photos of him as a child.
He realizes another time how different they are and that they could have never ended up together, that it's a bit of a miracle.
Under the influence of emotion, he cries a little, exhausted by his evening and frightened at the idea of having been able to pass by his lover without noticing him.

Sang Woo joins him, he passes off his tears as a reaction to dust. Jar Young thinks that he loves him each day more than the last when he already thought he was at his maximum. He also asks him if he loves him more than the toy, and he actually does.

Then, Sang Woo wants to kiss h and we understand that they are going to make love in his room.
