I actually think he's seriously not aware of it.
Maybe because he gaslit himself into being the awesome, high and mighty tough guy that he hardly has any idea what being in love is like.
Which, in it's own way, is kinda sad and funny.
I think he’s aware that he feels different but I think he’s thinking that thing where they are like “oh I’ve never done this with someone I’ve been sexually involved with but what could this possibly mean”. Just like when they were in the car and Kim Dan was holding onto him and he made that face like “why do I like him holding me”. And even since he’s getting jealous. I just hope that all the jealousy will help him realize his real feelings.
That's definitely an option for him. I've seen multiple character that are arrogant and high and mighty beyond belief and they don't realize they are in love. It's always funny and frustrating in different ways. :'D
I'm hoping he gets VERY jealous by Hee-man trying to snatch Dan away and he clears things up with Dan before the other guy can hurt him with his pretend-game.
It would be nice seeing JJ being worried and protective over Dan, but at this point him just somewhat realizing and becoming more kind is all I need. XD
Bro you like him and you know it just admit it to yourself
