I'm joking but the amount of how obsessive and deep their bond is paired with the tragedy (Woori's death) feels quite romantic is essence.
Really the only person who makes the relationship feel romantic is Soobin.
Even though you could argue Woori really likes him... basically unhinged to a point but he also doesn't want to die lmao... homeboy just doesn't think deeply and that's why when the relationship broke apart when they were kids he was devastated but just decided not to think about it.
Soobin is an introspective depressive hoe (lmao no actually) whose been dealt a bad card and just thinks about Woori as someone he would've liked naturally but basically hated because he felt like he saw how bad his life was when he was with him.
All in all he blames Woori for his already "crap life" basically unravelling because he showed him some sense of normalcy whilst also being his first "rejection" of being able to live normally. That in of itself almost feels like a "my first crush broke my heart so now I don't trust people vibe".
Plus hate and love are allegedly the flip side of the coin. Soobin always talks or hints about him just feeling an intense rage towards Woori that he sometimes believes is because of what happened in their childhood but sometimes feels it instinctually at being left but also having to deal with everything on his own. A part of me can't help but feels he views Woori as this defacto friend/parental figure.
Plus so many BLs are toxic in general so you can't help but see the obsessiveness and anger as just defacto violent homoeroticism...kinda messed up tho.
All in all even if this just ends as them being besties, there's such a level of deepeness, dependency and darkness in their relationship that it can't help but feel much more than platonic...plus they're hot lmao.
My little ugly ducklings are sooooo gay in a relationship way but not in a sexual way... Yet ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~











Plotline reminds of the other manwha but the ML has a kid and is doing everything to defy his father as revenge for his dead mother...so far the art doesn't look great but time will tell! ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
