Yes, it is a common trope in yaoi. First, he doesn't admit he was in love and second, he covered it by saying he was just toying with the uke. But whatever it is, In the end Jihoon is the one who is going to hurt.

"At first i was like mhhh I like Jihoon as a joke, but bro... I don't think it's a joke anymore"
he'll probably think that sooner or later, Leave him be. and I feel like he already likes Jihoon he just doesn't want to admit it
Isn't it obvious or is it just me?
