Don't be so sure. The creator might favor Jingi but they have a sweet spot for Heonjae. This manga has a long way to go and anything could happen.
We do not yet know what heinous crap Jingi has done. I get a se sense that the author is playing with our expectations (like who is the lesser evil).
Yeah you have a point. In the beginning when we didn't know much about Heonjae people were learning more towards him. Now that Jingi lost his mom and is being vulnerable people are learning towards him so I can see this journey being more of a pendulum swing between the two characters.
Heonjae is cute asf but I'm pretty sure he's not having any other action after this. Since it's real fucking clear who the creator favors.
