It's kind of funny how some readers are like "Taku never hurt Haesoo though! That's why they should end up together". Do ppl realize that Haesoo simply couldn't be emotionally hurt by Taku... because he did not love Taku?
Like: Haesoo at best felt fondness for Taku and nothing more. Taku was manipulative and selfish, and intended to use Haesoo just as he used his previous models. He did not have sincere feelings for Haesoo to start, which should've technically hurt Haesoo. However, because Haesoo didn't have any romantic feelings for Taku, he simply accepted it and let himself be used + used Taku as a rebound in the process. There was no room in Haesoo's heart to even be hurt by him.
The title says it all. Love or Hate: did Haesoo ever love Taku? did he ever hate Taku? no and no. both of those emotions represent Haesoo's conflicting emotions with Joowon and Joowon only.
