I don't think it was forgotten. It was unnecessary to have this arc, because it's okay even without it. The ML just thought about it for a while but he obviously came to know he really did have feelings for the MC so he changed his mind. The ML also didn't tell the MC about it and I think it's okay, he was genuine about his feelings anyway. So all is forgiven. That's my opinion at least! Haha
The revenge thing wasnt really a plot point like it is in most other manhwas, bc his actions arent fueled by his desire for revenge. thats why it seems like it was brushed off when the motive actually just smoothly (and subtly) transitioned from im going to pester you -> notice me already -> im going to cling onto you -> oh im in love with you. It was more so his excuse to stay rather than an actual motive behind his actions, because the things he did towards mc were genuine in his pov
i RLLY RLLY liked this don’t get me wrong but am I crazy or did they gloss over the whole revenge plot. Like I was expecting him to obvi fall in love but the MC to find out he was doing it for revenge and then that be an arc in the story. Did they address it? If so can someone tell me the chapter xx
