It's been 2 weeks since the almost-kiss with Kurosawa and Adachi has been frantically trying to avoid being alone with him. Afraid that their relationship would progress, Adachi tries to forget about the situation (lit: becomes an escapist??) by shopping with Fujisaki and they encounter a dodgy looking guy. Adachi tries to protect Fujisaki and almost gets beaten up, before Kurosawa shows up... Adachi comes to know Kurosawa's surprising, true intentions.
There is rarely room for subtlety in gay movies. It gets tiring having every thought spelled out for the audience.…
– Shima staring at Toga's hand flicking his cigarette – When Shima has a flashback to his ex when Toga says he's glad they met (this is pretty explicit, but most dramas would play the dialogue as well) – When Toga lifts up Shima's head to see his expression and they both stare in silence (again, not that explicit but most dramas would play inner dialogue at this time) e.t.c.

Can someone tell me what Tae Joo's bad habit is? I'm really dense and I still don't know what it was meant to be? Tae Joo's 'inconsiderate' flirting w/ Gook?
This might be unpopular but I LOVE Hitomi's character. She did nothing wrong – Akira never told her about him. And the conversation they had over the phone about the divorce banquet was hilarious. I like this trope in romance stories a lot. It does ease the guilt you feel (a little) for the person who gets dumped for the main pairing.
