I'm pitying Hatano now

It's hard to not support Hatano's feeling because the flag "unrequited love" is very appealing. The author in the last vol started to show Hatano more and more, I get the feeling she is trying to make us ship him and MC. But I doubt she is gonna do something about them. It's kind infuriating but I get it. I would like the MC meet someone he liked, but he is too conscious of the world he is living in, the only one who has a minimum chance at is the 'psycho' guy. because he is also straight and holds a grudge towards MC. Anyway, I'm just trying to predict the future, but I don't really know what the author is planning. But I feel bad for Hatano character. I dont see a future where MC is gonna reciprocate his feelings.
