OH THANK GAWD…we already had a slow-ish(?) burn going on(at least from seyoung’s side, in which he is furiously denying all feelings for this pretty a**hole who is full of himself—get ‘im seyoung!) i did NOT need there to be more in the way of these two having a mutual, GENUINE romance…like imagine how much longer this story would be stretched if heejae was playing with seyoung as revenge?? like, whoa, role reversal, but what if NOBODY ASKED for that?? seyoung has made it too far with his feelings for you to set things back by confirming his worst fears author-nim! cant just lead us on this far and then snatch the “real relationship” away just as we were about to get there!!
IVE READ THE RAWS AND IM STUDYING KOREAN PLEASEEE the next eight chapters are going to be a flashback from when sesam first joined heejae’s guild and how over time he fell in love w seyeong at first he approached and kept sticking to him because he was frustrated and annoyed that seyeong was nice to all the other guild members except him, but iirc around the time he got sick before seyeong called the ambulance for him, he started like blushing and kicking his legs and gradually realising he’s in love w him…
+ 42 shows when heejae was abandoned as a child so that’s probably partly why he flipped out so bad when sesam suddenly left even tho he’s still lwk crazy for that… guy has a fear of abandonment
& honestly from the raws i dont think heejae is really the type to lock seyeong up like everyone’s saying, so far he hasn’t done anything crazy like that this guy is honestly pathetic in a loving loser way
