N-Affectionate younger man x Chaebol older man

"How much does it cost to do all this?"
"yes?"
Min-gyu couldn't help but feel flustered. The place he worked at only handled luxury goods, and the items the man in front of him had handed over to him for payment were quite expensive, even for that store.
"Oh, please calculate this too."
The man placed three more watches on the counter and offered me his card, asking me to pay for them with him. Thinking I'd just pay for them, I accepted the card and entered the items on the cash register, keeping an eye on the man.
"He looks young... Is he an employee of a large corporation? No, he seems to have a high position..."
The reason Min-gyu was thinking this way was simple. Even though the man in front of him was wearing casual clothes, his clothes were quite expensive and he felt guilty. And as I mentioned earlier, he had bought several items that were considered expensive even in luxury stores.
"The total is ten thousand won. Would you like to pay in installments?"
"This is a check card."
"Oh, yes..."
Wonwoo chuckled as he watched Mingyu, who seemed surprised and couldn't take his eyes off him.
"I guess you haven't been working for long? I'm kind of a VIP."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"There's no need to apologize like that...it's Jeon Won-woo."
"yes?"
When Min-gyu rolled his eyes and looked embarrassed because he didn't understand, Won-woo smiled and spoke again.
"My name is Jeon Won-woo. What's your name? Since you'll be working here, you'll be seeing each other often, so I thought it would be good to know your name. I know all the employees' names."
"Ah... it's Min-gyu. Kim Min-gyu."
"Mr. Min-gyu, I ask for your continued support."
"N.. yes..!"
That's how Mingyu and Wonwoo's first meeting passed. Wonwoo seemed interested in Mingyu, stopping by the store once a week. Mingyu also developed feelings for Wonwoo, and two months later, they were dating.
"Min-gyu, over here."
Today, as always, Wonwoo came to see Mingyu as he finished school. Mingyu began to sense something was off.
He finished school around 6 or 7 p.m., so assuming that the typical office worker's workday ends at 6 p.m., it made no sense to Mingyu that Wonwoo would always pick him up.
'Aren't you busy, hyung...?'
This suspicion was justified. Wonwoo was actually unemployed. He was just the only son of a successful conglomerate, and he owned several buildings in his name—a typical example of a rich unemployed person. (He was unemployed, after all.) That's how it was, anyway.
Wonwoo's not-so-secret secret was revealed about a month later, when Mingyu caught the flu and was unable to leave the gosiwon where he was staying for a week. Concerned about Mingyu's confinement, Wonwoo visited the gosiwon where he lived.
'Miss... If it weren't for Kim Min-gyu, I wouldn't have come here...'
Wonwoo parked his car roughly in an alley near the goshiwon, then walked over, checking the bag in his hand. Inside were porridge and cold medicine for Mingyu. Slightly annoyed, Wonwoo walked forward until he reached Mingyu's room. He tried to ring the doorbell, but upon seeing that it wasn't properly closed, he sighed and stepped inside.
"Min-gyu? Are you in your room?"
When I heard no sound, I put the bag on the table I saw and was about to leave when I heard a groan.
".. Min-gyu...?"
Even though it wasn't cold, Mingyu, who had been wrapped tightly in a blanket, finally came into view. Wonwoo sat down and gently stroked Mingyu's forehead, and a warm feeling followed, and a cold sweat broke out.
'If it hurts like this, don't talk,'
Wonwoo, feeling a bit grumpy for no reason, glanced at Mingyu, then wiped his forehead roughly and placed the cooling pad he'd bought with the medicine on Mingyu. The sudden coolness woke Mingyu and he was startled when he saw Wonwoo.
"..Wonwoo hyung?"
"Are you awake?"
Min-gyu, who I thought must have come to visit after work, was lost in thought as he looked outside, which was brighter than expected.
'Is it already past closing time?'
"What time is it now?"
"Right now? Um... 2:30."
".. Isn't it time to be at work now?"
"Oh... didn't you know? I'm unemployed."
"uh?"
"I don't go to work, I'm unemployed."
Wonwoo handed the bag next to him to Mingyu, who was too flustered to say anything.
"I bought some medicine, take it."
"Oh, yeah, thank you.."
Mingyu swallowed three pills, including cold medicine and fever reducer, and tried to get up, but Wonwoo stopped him and he lay back down. Wonwoo nagged Mingyu, who insisted he was fine, and told him to eat the porridge he bought before leaving the room.

After recovering from his flu, Mingyu began avoiding Wonwoo. At first, it was just something as trivial as avoiding contact. As the situation continued, Wonwoo drove to pick Mingyu up after he finished school, but Mingyu ignored him and drove down a narrow alleyway where cars couldn't enter.
The reason was simple. Mingyu avoided Wonwoo because he felt they weren't a good match. Wonwoo was the only child of a large conglomerate, and Mingyu was ordinary—well, just a little less ordinary. But he loved Wonwoo too much to avoid him. Every time he thought of Wonwoo, he longed to see him. His best friend, D, told him to meet Wonwoo, but Mingyu wouldn't listen.
It was Wonwoo who was impatient with him. Who wouldn't be annoyed when their lover avoids them without any contact and (from his perspective) without any reason? Moreover, Wonwoo had had everything he wanted since he was young, so he became even more obsessed with Mingyu, the one person he almost didn't have. Since he had to pick Mingyu up every day to drink, Wonwoo's stress reliever of choice was cigarettes. He would arrive about 10 minutes before Mingyu finished school every time and smoke a cigarette while waiting. After that, he would wait for Mingyu in the car and eventually go home alone. This routine repeated for about a month.

It was a day when Mingyu finished school unusually early. Coincidentally, Wonwoo was leaning against the wall on the alleyway leading Mingyu back to his gosiwon, smoking a cigarette while looking at his phone. Part of him probably didn't want Mingyu to see him smoking, but he was caught anyway. Startled, Wonwoo dropped the cigarette from his mouth and stomped on it. Just as Wonwoo, fearing Mingyu's disappointment, opened his mouth to make an excuse,
"Min-g.."
"Wow, bro"
"uh?"
"I really fell in love."
"???"
"Seriously, I fell in love again."
As Wonwoo stood there dumbfounded, Mingyu hugged him. Mingyu had his own reasons for that. He must have fallen in love at first sight with Wonwoo, who was dressed in what is commonly called a boyfriend look. That's how Mingyu and Wonwoo met again. The people around them were dying over their sweet relationship. Every time Wonwoo came to pick them up from school, Mingyu's best friend D said that their sweet relationship was so sweet that it gave him goosebumps. Anyway... After dating for about a year, they moved in together at Wonwoo's house, and Mingyu and Wonwoo lived happily, lovingly and affectionately(?)

"brother"
"why"
"Do you know when you look your prettiest?"
"I don't know"
"Shall I teach you?"
"huh"
"Cry under me.."
"shut up"
"Oh, why? Let's just do it once today.
"Shut up and get out."
"Ah, hyungㅠㅠㅠ"
Yes... well... Min-gyu begged so much that he ended up having a fight.

Why is the ending like this...
