Thank god its not that plot anyways im getting second hand embarrassment so bad like why did u try to kiss him lool i cannot read this further mc is getting caught up in this all by himself lol like he is so delusional from start u met him a week ago and u thinking ab liking him when u barely spoke 10 words w each other lol
I am not far into the novel (I think I've read the third of it) but it is written like Mc's inner monologue/ perspective. I was thinking about this criticism towards Asel as well, but honestly I would eventually misunderstood as well. Perhaps this makes me very naive as well, I know I am to some degree. I think ML really went overboard with kindness, dinner as an apology, getthing Asel a job, paying for his tutor, secretly sending him sweets. Maybe it started innocently from his side, but at the gallery when he has got annoyed because MC called Jae Seok hyung, prooved me he had feelings for him. I don't know, I can be wrong. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Do not tell me this bitch was in love w his lil bro
