We are the ones who should ask you if we read the same thing... The story makes very clear that he was never in love with him, like not at all! If I remember correctly, Hajun started dating that blondie when they were in high school just because he has the same name as the person he fell for when they were children, that is Yunjae, and so Hajun thought the blondie was THAT child. But it was actually Sihyeon-Candy, (whose name was Yunjae too as a child, that's why Hajun misunderstood). Hajun was never able to love the blond guy, because, like I said, he eventually wasn't the person he thought he was... while he immediately felt a connection with Sihyeon, which is also the child he was looking for all along.
yea they were definitely not dating^^ i remember reading candy asking hajun why he told blondie that they were just friends when they were dating (or together) and hajun responds that the school is a bit conservative and if their relationship had been found out it wouldve caused issues for candy. i think this kinda proves that hajun and the blondie never dated and dont bat for the same team, otherwise hajun wouldnt have kept from blondie his relationship with candy. plus there was no indication of there being anything romantic between hajun and blondie's interactions (or of any past feelings)
Ok, it's been a long time since I read the whole thing and I didn't remember if they actually dated, but the rest is what I said as well... Except that he never fell in love with him from what I remember, other people replied the same. Rather he probably just tried to have romantic feelings for him since he mistook him for that child, but it never worked because he actually wasn't that child... I think he just loved him as a friend. While he immediately fell in love with Candy, even if he didn't realized who he was at first, because they had this unconscious bond and there's always been chemistry between them.
can anyone tell me is ML into that yellow hair guys? kinda don't wanna read it if that's the case
