@TeamLeewon Shuraka is doing his best to hold back because apparantly his libido is too high, that's why he uses the drugs. Also, Shuraka has zero experience in love, s**, or relationships. His mother was most likely araanged marriaged to the emperor as well plus the emperor has several concubines. So any ideas about relationships would be shaped by this. Shuraka doesn't understand why Tei is holding back especially since he remembers how sweet and warm Tei was to him when they first met.

@Lucy I, mistakenly, thought S took the drug to hold his libido until he reunited with Tei. It's a little odd to misinterpret adult affection towards a child as romantic love. At best S could expect platonic affection. S, as a royal, should understand the dynamics of an arranged political marriage. It's fine to be a little disappointed but his expectations should be measured. Tei would perceive his affection as nostalgic at best. The power dynamics alone makes Tei subservient. It's natural that Tei wouldn't believe this a love marriage or that S is obligated to be monogamous.
