the mc is not the only one to blame here. i mean it's understandable if the mc is confused cause in the first place he doesnt have something he could hold on. mr. seo never opened up and he doesnt want to open up abt himself to the mc. they're not in a relationship and he thinks it is just one sided. they're just fuck buddies. they wouldnt be even fuck buddies if the mc was not persistent enough. like everyone, mc also just does not want to be hurt in the end. and irl, it can really be tiring to go after someone you like. but, i also understand the frustration about this cause of miscommunication
