Well I probably think that’s from a professional standpoint of trust but not that close enough. It’s normal in Asian culture for coworkers to drink together, otherwise it can be seen as disrespectful. If in drunk scenario, just sounds like a chance for Secretary to possibly take advantage of or sexually assault, but I’m hoping it doesn’t come to that and they could just be good friends. I highly doubt he would take advantage though, he seems sweet and friendly. Hopefully author will bring in another partner for him. It’s just too obvious the other guy is male lead, author isn’t shying.

He's not done anything to harm the mc yet there's a handful of people talking about "back off" and "don't try anything" like what???
If he had bad intentions, I think we would've seen them considering how at multiple points we've gotten his pov. Especially with his dad being a D1 hater, asking him to esentially be a spy, him choosing to stay loyal to MC backs his overall sweet, kind demeanor.
And then people saying to not confess?? Why? Let him shoot his shot, how is he going to know for sure whether or not MC likes him if he doesn't confess his own feelings. God forbid someone has a crush and does something about
