It definitely started waaaay before that the first time they had sex when Andante word vomited out how he was just using Hyeosop because Andante was about to esper explode. Hyeosop has been holding onto that inside since then, so the Tart Guide’s words only rang with a truth he already knew. Literally the entire time they were in a relationship Hyeosop has been operating under the idea that Andante didn’t actually love him because Andante told him that. Andante just doesn’t know cause he still doesn’t remember that night.
Not to mention Andante is a little dumb too because he has been thinking this whole time that Hyeosop thought he really loved him. Since he didn’t know that Hyeosop knew Andante wanted to use him. So when Hyeosop tells him “you never loved me” and then brings up that he knows he was being used, WHY DEAR LORD AND SWEET BABY JESUS DID ANDANTE NOT ASK HIM WHY HE THOUGHT THOSE THINGS??? Istg. The only peace we got with this chapter was Andante immediately thinking “
Is Hyoseop stupid? Genuinely.
All of this over some bs miscommunication started by a guide he KNOWS has reason to be jealous of him. Obviously his trauma with obsessed espers is valid (I assume, since we don’t know much about it) but it’s understandable that the ML would be upset and worried sick after he just vanishes.
Ugggghh had such a promising start but as the chapters go on I’m realky starting to dislike these characters
