Spoiler

I've read the novel but I won't give too many spoilers... ML genuinely really likes the MC.. Not just a normal crush like his crush on his friend, NO! But this is a deep love like he is obsessed with MC! There is a burning feeling that makes him crazy about MC! But he is a gentleman who doesn't force his feelings on MC because he knows MC really supports his feelings for his friend so he doesn't dare to say he likes MC... So he still treats MC like a normal friend even though he is "a bit special" than a normal friend but he respects MC's decision... So he slowly fell into FREAKING DEAD LOVE WITH MC! But what made him until he finally lost control was when a crazy psycho bitch suddenly bit MC's nipples and sexually harassed MC... Even though the MC had clearly refused THIS MOTHERFUCKER CRAZY DAMN SON OF A BITCH WOMAN and this PSYCHO BITCH had also been warned by her boss! But she was a crazy bitch after all
