Well, Jae-ha can't say he expected or even deserved this. That almost looks like forgiveness right there on the spot. And it ought to be a relief, something to be joyous over, but really it makes him feel terrible all over again. Because it is also palpable just how much his actions have hurt Akaya in the past. Jae-ha put himself first, second, and third, and left a trail of pain in his wake.
He lifts his free hand and cups the back of Akaya's head, cradling it to his chest. He won't say a word.
