Is it bad that I didn't feel bad the the protagonist and kid of felt bad for the ex friend when he kidnapped him?

The whole time I was just thinking this is basically what the male lead that you are obessesed with did minus the drugging. So his old friend could have potentially been the male lead if he did this earlier and before the male lead. They are basically one in the same.
