Speech-level and title notes
-자고? checks or repeats a suggestion: 끝내자고? = "you mean let's end it?". He answers with the same pattern, 시작하자고 = "I mean let's start". The mirror is the point of the scene.
A banmal confession has no -요 at all, which makes it direct and intimate. The same words with -요 would feel more careful and distant.
-어 줘 asks a favour in banmal: 있어 줘 = "stay (for me)". The polite version would be 있어 주세요.
