Uhh... ok first of all 'for who he was' is kind of key, you know...
His feelings for chan-il are just a toxic coping mechanism, but they still are his feelings. It's complex. He admits it's messes up and unfair to chan-il to use him for his unsolved trauma from minwoo but it's still a crush. Just a very toxic and unhealthy one
