Cho Yujae doesn't love romanticaly anyone. It was revealed that his parent used "love" to control him so it maybe why he is the way he is. It's still a bit small of a reason for me to him to be that weird so I guess is also somewhat borderline sociopath. Except for MC, it doesn't care for anyone else.
For the last panel, him being "happy" is probably completely faked. I'm pretty sure he's still mess up in the head and will try to take "revenge" by toying with his feeling. But the deeper reason is that he still want to be part of MC life. I wonder how he will "fall in love" for MC in season 2 with such persona, all I know is that MC will suffer in the process for sure. :x
i have read few manhwa where I genuinely could not tell where the story is going, and this is one of them. I have no idea what’s going on and I have no idea where the story is going to lead because the whole love interest with the girl at the beginning was so confusing I can’t tell if choi yujae Is manipulating everyone or if he just played that girl because he felt like it or if he actually liked her because I had no idea he liked her either.
I think that hanjoon Needs some time to herself like at least give it a year before he bumps into him because he hasn’t had enough time to settle out his feelings and why the fuck would yujae Be happy to see him when he literally ghosted him… That is so unrealistic
