I love how they portrayed the confession scene. People probably expected a spicy scene but this is happening between two friends, who is trying to navigate this "new" feelings they have for each other. You can actually feel the awkwardness and the vulnerability especially in the kiss. Seunghyo is trying to be careful and respectful when he initiated it and there is no need for it to look like he was demolishing her face just so his feelings come across. The kiss was meant to reinforce Seokryu's confession, Seunghyo's way of answering her question, that her feelings are reciprocated and what they have is pure, an adulterated love.
People might also say that it's too soon for Seokryu to confess but we've already been seeing Seokryu marinating her feelings for a while (since Ep 1). 😉
And now I'm listening to Whitesnakes' Is This Love because the lyrics just fits these two in this episode.
I should have known better than to let you go alone
It's times like these I can't make it on my own
Wasted days and sleepless nights
And I can't wait to see you again
I find I spend my time waiting on your call
How can I tell you, babe, my back's against the wall
I need you by my side to tell me it's all right
'Cause I don't think I can take anymore
Is this love that I'm feeling?
Is this the love that I've been searching for?
Is this love or am I dreaming?
This must be love
'Cause it's really got a hold on me
A hold on me
Can't stop this feeling, I've been this way before
But with you I've found the key to open any door
I can feel my love for you growing stronger day by day
And I can't wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms...
