Seeing the latest raws honestly confused me more. Because at times when he’s with hyuk, he would think of dajeong, and at times when he’s with dajeong, he would think of hyuk. Honestly even when I tried machine translating the boss’s thoughts, it’s still confusing. To me, I don’t think the boss acknowledges or is even aware of basic affectionate feelings like love. It still feels like towards both hyuk and dajeong, it’s a feeling of wanting to play with them and dominate.
He sounds like he’s bored of dajeong because of how easily he obtained him or tired of dajeong’s affection which he can’t reciprocate, and is excited by hyuk because of how hyuk resists or isn’t interested. I don’t think the boss is particularly obsessed with hyuk, based on his thoughts in the recent chapter, but more-so crazy by himself and is focusing on the nearest exciting thing to him. I also don’t think the boss is in love with either of them, and probably feels more bad towards dajeong. at most rn.
I stand by what i said, his actions did seem to me that he was way more interested in Hyuk than Dajeong. WHICH IS FINE but then why is the author pretending that he likes Dajeong at all (which is what i read in the raws from.a fan translation).
I wouldnt say he loves yi hyeok that we totally agree on, but i think he crossed the obsession level when he hit the mom with the car.
So apparently it is going towards "the ML always loved the MC" route for the boss story.
And i guess Yi Hyeok was supposed tl be a distraction. Which is total bs. The boss was OBSESSED with Yi Hyeok. Even when Da Geong just came back into the boss life, he said it himself he kept going to his little bar because of Yi Hyeok. He even attacked Yi Hyeok's mom with his car just for a reason to talk to Yi Hyeok or something like that.
This reminds me of "the substitute relationship". Where ML gives all his attention to someone else but "tUrNs oUt hE lOveD tHe mc aLl aLoNg" like bruuuuuuh
