I suspect the same thing as you, I haven’t seen any of the raws just some spoilers from the author’s X account, and there is a character that seems to be one of kim heejaes past students who looks really similar to Garam
He does love him a lot and not because he reminds him of someone
I'm up to chapter 147 out of 201, the situation with that past person hasn't been cleared up yet, but from what I can see the professor truly does love Garam for himself. He's very possessive and proud of him, gets jealous of friends, explicitly says he wants to see him smile for him, changes his character for the best to the point that others point out that his Chopin playing has become warmer since he's started living with Garam, as well as other romantic things. I truly love them so much and they act so intimately so I really hope I'm not wrong in my interpretation and that the other guy situation is resolved soon
I see!!! I haven’t seen any other spoilers because I don’t know how to access the raws through Korean lezhin, I just had to make interpretations from these chapters and other things the author posts trough her account, but I’m glad I’m wrong
Spoiler alert below!
Can someone who has read raws tell me if Heejae really loves Garam? I suspect he's with her because he reminds me of someone else, judging by raws... I hope I'm wrong.
