When they're discussing their transactional relationship, why does Geolson look so conflicted thinking about the ML's feelings towards him?? Like bro, there's nothing to be conflicted about, you don't owe him anything, he suckssss!!! I think the story is trying to hint that Geolson is catching feelings but is trying to deny it? Come on. Both characters are dumb Am I going to keep reading? Yes, I've made it too far to quit the story now. I hope the author surprises readers & actually does something unique with the story
