But this was not done well
First one or two chaps couldve been them as high schoolers and the rest as adults to flesh out their relationship cause the ending was so rushed and there was no resolve unless the author wants it to be a vague cycle of repetition where he can never forget about the one he liked and how his gf looks like the person he wants to beat up

I can make sense of Jiho's feelings bcuz he is a teen.
Hes prideful, arrogant, impulsive, awkward, selfish and coming of age and into terms of being attracted to guys. He never met anyone like Yoojoon and Yoojoon entered his life when he needed someone the most even with what we see and know we are still getting to know these boys. We are now seeing a more thoughtful and interested Jiho a bit and I like what the author is doing and how they are introducing it all.

yessss!!!! this is what i was also getting from this, Jiho didn’t just randomly have a change of heart, he’s trying to figure himself out, his curiosity and why is that feeling different and new maybe?
It’s how I think people would act irl, it’s not confusing or sending mixed signals, it’s just human :)
If you actually think about his behavior and age, it all coincides. He doesnt have to be a self realized person cause he is at the stage of learning as a teen. He is allowed to be impulsive and confused. If this was a working adult i would have agreed but his current reactions and the way he acts all makes sense. There is no 180 personality flip when we barely know the boy and we are literally getting to know him as he gets to know himself.
Fr also teenagers 100% change their mind on a whim
