i feel like compton might hv loved heejae n hj was aware of tht but never reciprocated. tht's my guess. i'm pr sure the manager died b4 compton became his student. (since once hj became a professor there's no need for a manager)
There is obviously more to the Compton/Professor story that Garam may or may not yet know about bc Prof was clearly relieved when Garam only brought up his acquaintances. Prof was terrified of a much larger truth potentially coming to surface. I’m not convinced that Compton wasn’t either a previous lover, or close with a previous lover. Timeline makes sense that he would have known the previous manager. Did the previous manager maybe leave Prof for Compton..? Idk. Just speculation at this point. So many possibilities
