Is it that obvious? Of course it is, because mfs like this exist irl. Whatever went through their heads that if they bully their crush, said crush would like them back???
In this case, I bet it has something to do with MC being a beta. Maybe he got a crush on him but his inflated ego looks down on beta too much he hides his feelings behind violence. That's usually how it is in abo stories.
I had a feeling that mf called Maximo is one of those guys that acts violent in front of someone they like. Dude's going way over tho. Hope Kalid or Renato unalives him.
