I feel like he's very attached to the mc, especially knowing he likes him but never really made a fuss about it, so he was comfortable because of that. That makes him self centered because he knows he LIKES him, and is sure about it so he trust that he'll like him even with the situation their in. The craziest part is, even knowing he likes the ml he doesn't want to commit because he knows being in a deep relationship may lead to something troublesome and he doesn't want to lose the mc. But come on, this is much crazier than dating your friend smh. That being oblivious of the feelings of dejection from the mc is already the start of him loosing his friend, istg. He's already done for

the malel lead is soooo ignorant and unempathic towards the mc its actually insane. he's very self centered? but also equal amounts of being understanding of mc and not pushing his boundaries and respecting what the mc wants so i cant say he's entirely self centered?? but he really is ignorant and just?? idk like hes just such an ass rn. no way he had 0 clue mc liked him btw like it just seems unlikely he never realised or had a gut feeling that the mc somehow liked him
