I’m probably of the minority opinion here but I actually like seonbae for the ML
Yes I know he has some a**hole moments but I actually think it stems from jealousy and misunderstandings. From the beginning he noticed the ML, was nice to him and thought he was cute. He’s never thought of him as weird and has defended him multiple times against ppl who have said it both in front of ML and when ML has not been there.

Seonbae accuses hyung of acting more than a stepbrother but isn’t he actually the one acting as more than a f*** buddy?
-He turns down the blind date meeting
-calls ML babe, honey etc
-calls, texts, asks him to hang out like they’re dating and gets upset when ML doesn’t respond
-after their night together, one of the texts he sends the ML is why he left without saying anything? Why would a normal f*** buddy care about that?
-apologized every time he said something that upset the ML
-seems to genuinely be concerned about the ML (tried to find out about hyung, didn’t take ML’s hand when he was falling, when ML went MIA for 4 days was worried)

I think that if he had never joked around in the beginning that ML only wanted to sleep with him, then they could’ve started dating “normally”. They both seemed disappointed when they thought the other was only looking for sex

    No cause I agree I don’t think seonbae is that bad. The only thing I think he sucked for was when I think their friend asked if he would date mc some thing and he was like hell no. And then the other part that actually really sucked was when the MC was like Seonabe “what are we” like after they had just finished having sex and he was like what do you mean we’re fuck buddies. Like I don’t think he’s dense so that was upsetting either than that I actually am rooting for them simply because the second ML isn’t doing it for me just yet. Like I’m getting nothing. He not enough yet

    Wait… what ch is it that the friend asks if he would date the ML?

    But yeah he does say they are just f*** buddies and you can see the ML so sad after that although technically that is what they are…

    I read the raw for the author’s notes after S1 and they mention Chan Young (sunbae) having his first heartbreak so… I’m guessing ML breaks up with him and he realizes he really likes him. And like someone else’s theory in the comments that ML and sunbae will eventually team up and figure out what to do about hyung/tree spirit. Looking forward to S2!
