Uhm

from the looks of the story so far i don't BELIEVE so don't take my word for it but it seems like this childhood lover that mc has is just an obstacle for him to grow from, kinda like a final "escape" from his past since being with this guy is only making him relive the past
i think dylan is the only ml but he has his own issues but thats a separate topic, dylan is probably endgame tho
