Theo has nothing but pity and empathy for Lina. They could never be. The basis of a relationship must be mutual respect. I don't believe that's possible with Theo treating Lina like an inexperienced underling to mentor through the art of life. It's clear he doesn't feel romantic feelings for Lina. There's none of that blushing or surprise of the mundane that he shows with our MC.
i still want her past bf to be the ml even tho it's obvious it's theo ☹☹
