Let’s be completely clear for those delulu Hyunjae x Yoojin shippers, pointing out that the characters said “I love you” or listing all those so‑called “suspicious moments” from the novel doesn’t prove anything, nor does it count as a valid defense. The problem is that every single one of those lines and scenes can easily and reasonably be read as deep platonic care, loyalty, or the bond of found family they’re always open to interpretation. This is nothing like other non‑BL stories where a character is explicitly established as gay from the very start, with clear romantic feelings and attraction toward another man that leave no room for confusion or debate (no need for author to confirm too cause the stories tell itself)
To make matters even clearer: the author has never confirmed any romantic or queer dynamic between them; their bond is strictly framed as platonic. Most importantly, this work is not BL at all like you all said, this is an action stories. That means all that vague, so‑called “suspicious” framing is essentially just queerbaiting: a deliberate way to generate hype and keep fans engaged.Everyone knows that shipping drives fandom activity and sales (likeyou all shippers keep saying that. Every fandom of shippers keep saying the same script ljke we get it and that's the point) and this is exactly what it is: exploiting our desire for proper gay representation just to keep the audience hooked. This is queerbait bromance straight friendship and their feelings is canonically platonic.
Yes yoojin is straight hyunjae is straight. No amount of mental gymnastics chabge that.
Can be seen as straight friendship platonic bestie, No confirmation from the author, and most importantly the story is not BL = Hyunjae Yoojin is straight
