I kinda get Hyuk Joon’s concern, but what he did wrong here is that he didn’t communicate this issue with…
None of these males have dating experience and were not able to connect with the females that were dropping hints.
Both sexes were reserved and not consistent in their messaging. This pacing gave them little to no time to discern the different approaches required to reach each other.
The treadmill speed and incline for these eternal singles is too steep.
Your assessment of the female character is incorrect, it wasn't a one night stand between two strangers. This wasn't an impulsive decision by either party.
He's been attracted to her for a long time.
They developed a romantic interest in each other and both were hesitant in moving forward because of the dynamic.
They are dating in secret, mid thirties, you can assume both have had a long dry spell.
Physical intimacy is simply the next step in their relationship and was not out place for them.
The scene you mentioned is a good example of the self defense mechanism of protecting one's ego. She's fallen for him and she just discovered he's leaving for the US.

Get out of your echo chamber, other nations have different cultures, history.
South Korea has a lower divorce rate than the United States, though both nations have seen fluctuations due to cultural shifts and economic factors.
Crude Divorce Rate (per 1,000 people):
United States: Approximately 3.2 (as of 2023). South Korea: Approximately 1.8 to 2.1 (as of 2023). Key Differences:
Cultural Context: The US has a higher rate attributed to individualism and easier legal access to divorce, whereas South Korea’s lower rate is influenced by traditional values that view marriage as a duty and stigma surrounding separation. Trends: The US divorce rate peaked earlier (around 1981) and has since declined, while South Korea’s rate rose sharply until the early 2000s and has since stabilized or slightly decreased. Alternative Metrics: When measured as the ratio of divorces to marriages in a given year, South Korea (46%) and the US (45%) appear much closer, suggesting that South Korea’s lower crude rate is partly due to a significantly lower marriage rate.
