Why are you making up scenarios about all of us readers lmao. We actually know little to nothing about ML since the story is in MC’s POV. Where do you see TY’s words as empty cause we don’t know if it really is. It may even be real that’s how good of an actor he is, even us readers aren’t sure if he is sincere or not. No need to immediately assume his personality, we never saw him with another partner or intentionally being a dick with any other character beside his previous sexpartner.

"kwon taeyong is moving at a very realistic pace." no.
neither is he moving nor he intends to move. everyone knows what kind of guy ml is, for obvious reasons why jinwoo isnt trying to get his hopes up. it's okay to accept TY is a manwhore, and no one is forcing him to be anything with jinwoo nor we or especially jinwoo is expecting anything from that guy, its just jinwoo crushing on him and us as readers realising how empty TY words are, and wishing jinwoo to get over him. idk where u got the impression of him "having to do everything", brother he doin nothing but fucking. because realistically, a guy like that would eat shit irl, obv mc is worried, he doesn't wanna get his heart broken. omg i feel like ive said smt like this before under diff manhwa, u guys love to ride "objectively attractive" mls' dick regardless of how shite their personality is.
