This is the part that is so unnecessary.
MC knows he could solve both their problems and get revenge on his completely vile birth family in one fell swoop.
BUT nooooooooo dummy has too much cum and alcohol in his brain to connect those dots.
Plus, MC isn’t slick so he’s just coming across as SUS to those that could be his ally in this situation.

"Honey", he has seen him naked. Fully naked and taken him in several positions. There's more to a body than pubic hair. He has the same hair length, the same haircut, the same body, and if the veil didn't matter then the author wouldnt have made it the heart of the mystery. I'm not the one who said that the key element in hiding his identity was the veil, the author is. And you know why? Because it's bad writing.
I know you want to be a " kind reader" and try to be understanding by coming up with explanation that the author themselves isn't giving, but from my 13 years if experience reading BL, I can tell you know it's genuinely judst that shitty veil. And you'll see that I'm right I'm the "grand reveal". You'll be greatly disappointed but at least next time you'll be able to predict the story better.
S2 and still not discovered while being under his nose with only a veil... Sigh this author has decided to drag the story with a fake mystery. I'm gonna wait it out
