i think yes, but in his own way
he's crazy but yes
He definitely loves cheol, but it is stronger than a traditional romantic love. His love is multifaceted, and is expressed through not only romantic/sexual connection, but also unwavering protection and unconditional love. I think that’s why the uncle compared it to parental love, because minyoung loves cheol regardless of cheol’s behavior towards him. Minyoung has dedicated himself to loving and protecting him above all others.
So does Minyoung love Cheol? Or??
