we can tell hayden is falling for brett bc we're reading this from his pov, but from brett's perspective he sent that message about sobering up to hayden after the party and hayden just didn't even respond for 30 days LOL from brett's perspective i wouldn't think that hayden liked me at all?

Finally someone have same opinion as me, yeah i think Brett don’t think about having more serious relationship also have some Hayden fault, he keep being super distance and keep showing Brett how unpleasantness he was with Brett.
Even in future, Brett able to see how Hayden have feeling for him, that doesn’t change the fact he not ideal lover of Hayden so he have no choice but back off or even don’t think about it at all. He did teasing Hayden about it for fun tho lol, poor Hayden…

yea exactly like from brett's pov hayden is just cold and standoffish and also seems to judge him like i'm pretty sure brett thinks hayden doesn't even really like him as a person (at the beginning of their relationship he was like "look i know you don't like me but..." and hayden never says anything to correct him. and yea i know how the rest of the season goes and i know things start changing a bit; i read a bad translation though so the eng translation is still revealing things i didn't catch the first time

this author is tooo good at sketching out personality and character through dialogue. love subverted expectations (everyone expects hayden to get jealous and "protect" brett) but brett takes care of things himself, hayden might be jealous but says "you're acting as if i have the right to get jealous" very calmly. i wonder if it's implied that maybe brett KNEW that the dude would follow him and kiss him and if he wanted hayden to see.
safe word dialogue is chefs kiss, esp the implications of "honey" being the safe word. you can tell hayden is definitely developing feelings but he's guarded bc he's been warned about what brett is like/he has an impression of brett as well so he's not letting himself fall. meanwhile, brett is still mysterious - what is he thinking exactly? he still seems so flippant about everything

brett is generally a nice person but bc of his privilege (alpha + rich) i think he fundamentally has a hard time understanding ppl like that blond who want to be part of a frat so badly that they would humiliate themselves for it. like we can tell that brett is just used to doing what he wants and being true to himself, so he really doesn't get ppl who don't act like that? same with how he doesn't see how his brother is uncomfortable,he lacks empathy in that way.
death flag upon death flag pls just give him some happiness with jin he's suffered enough in life already
