i really love the parallels between Heechan and Taekin, especially with their home lives and school lives. Circumstances are different, but similar enough to where Heechan is learning and growing as a person through Taekin. He's getting to do things he never got to do back when he was his age, and you can tell it's pretty cathartic for him. I think Heechan felt that Taekin was weak for a long time and so dismissed any similarities they had, but we're (and he's) seeing now that Taekin was actually really strong. Even if it was in a different way.
I hope we get to see Taekin and Heechan meet properly when all this is over. A proper interaction between them would be really emotional to see. Especially with how hard Heechan is fighting for and willing to fight for him.
