I think Hyung wanted to save Geonpil. Geonpil was on a path of self-destruction and e want to help him.
In the process, he offered him a home and a job. Then he caught feelings.
He didn't know what to do. He was jealous about Geonpil's relationships and then he got propositioned.
We don't know when sex got involved, but it seems like they were roommates for a while, a few years?
Hyung was in love but the guy is shy and afraid. He loved Geonpil. But Geonpil was a closed book.
He was in survival mode, he had never been shown love, and he only thought about keeping Hyung around because he was home to him. Safety. Security. His place of peace.
I think, if someone else had pursued Hyung, Geonpil might have discovered that he actually did love him and they could have worked things out.
Because it was only after he realized Hyung was gone that he discovered his feelings and is heartbroken.
That shows, the love was there all along, he just buried it deep because he didn't want to get hurt.
Now everything is too late.
And I feel so bad for Beom, the ghost is also looking for love, security, safety, a home. But he was like an infant's mind in a monster's body.
And now? He is the one being taken advantage of and used. And abused.
I have no idea how this might end. It doesn't feel like there can be a happy ending. Hyung is dead, the ghost can never be satisfied, and neither can Geonpil who is now on a freight train to self-destruction once again after he realized he broke the man he loved and is now trying to replace him with the monster who mimics him.
Geonpil and Beom are both hungry ghosts devouring others to feel their needs. But they don't want to be that way.
Geonpil needs therapy. And Beom? He's a ghost, not a human.
It feels like we are headed to a tragedy or some deus ex machina magical happy ending.
