45 chapters, a reread of the first season, plus the authors notes I figured it out.
So let's compare the two seasons. The first season had a bit of setup (the first 10 ish chapters) than next 20 chapters was the two figuring out they like each other and removing the third. The second season is about 7 chapters of backstory and 3 chapters of set up and 5 chapters of sex ending with Mok confessing his feelings.
What I think happened is due to the popularity the author was encouraged to make two season. So the last season ended on a cliff hanger instead of concluding. Based on their previous pace this last 15 chapters could have been three. So that is why it feels stretched out. If you notice the plot got slower around chapter 23.
Now for Nanjo we typically only get one POV in yaoi or at best 90% one 10% the other. It is just unusual for the Uke to have their pov hidden. Nanjo is coded as a seme which throws the tone off.(I actually like this because it makes it clear the are both men. Let's be honest most were okay with the seme being aloof. Most ukes could be women a little would change in story)
So if I had to guess he returns Mok feelings he might just feel them less. He has been betrayed by Mok so he is enjoying seeing him suffer a bit. But he knows what he is doing and nothing suggest he intends for this to be a hook up thing (This level of leading on would be out of character. He was shown to care for Mok before)
So to continue to stretch it out the author will probably focus on what the change in dynamic means. I doubt they will make Nanjo go full asshole.
