Unpopular opinion

I don't think that Hoyoung has to like Beom back for their relationship to be mended. These stories often do this thing where the only side characters left are kind of grouped into a relationship and it isn't always believable, IMHO. But, in this case, I don't think they automatically have to be together just because they're going through a fight. Like, it is possible for them to still treasure each other and not become enemies if one isn't gay after all. I think that Hoyoung doesn't know what to do with his feelings or how to be conscious of Beom's feelings. Like, have you guys ever been liked by a close friend? Even if straight, that shit is awkward because you don't always feel that way about your friends.

However, I really can't imagine Hoyoung having feelings for Beom. But that doesn't mean that they'll be in a broken friendship forever. They've been with each other for super long. And it would be "convenient" for them to date considering they live next to each other. But I think it would be more monumental if they could still stay friends and break the trope.

I know that this story will likely follow the typical "side friends together" trope - - but I really don't think it has to be that way all of the time, because in reality, it often isn't.
