Yes
He caused the MC to return to this gangster life he ran away from him.. he also got him involved with the rival gang that kidnapped him in the beginning.. then he saved from this mess with a contact in place that’ll tie the MC to him
He feels that one of the only ways Hamin will willingly involve himself with the ML is through protection lol
The only time he felt regret or remorse is when he saw Hamin take the knife out for him.. he didn’t expect it and thought his love for him was superficial

No, he knows Hamin is interested in him as well but since he believed him to a seeker of normalcy he would never wind up with a gangster so that’s why he concocted this entire plot but no it’s based on lies.. he’s genuinely and passionately obsessed with him but can’t want pure things with Hamin because of his nature and dealings inside the gang and his past as an orphan
Hi so I just got a bit spoiled from a panel I saw. It was from the last chapter and it worried me some. Is there emotional manipulation involved in the relationship? Idk just from what I saw of the panel from the last chapter it almost seemed like he had tricked him into falling in love with him. But yeah I love this author and would love to give it a chance but that just concerns me some. Tysm if you can answer!
