I know this chapter is a kid basically getting taken advantage of... But also in a weird sense it's kinda sad. On both parts. One part you see our lovely smol bean have a love that will never be reciprocated and the Lord receiving love that is not his and seemingly experiencing it for the first time.
My thoughts exactly. I was imagining the look on Seungho's face when Na-Kyum said that what transpired between them made him happy and made his heart feel full, even if it was meant for the teacher rather than the patron. Seungho is the type of person who is either ridiculed, feared, or used - but never loved genuinely. And I suppose in that particular scene, he and Na-Kyum were both living in their own fantasies; Na-Kyum wanting his affections returned by Inhun (damn him), and Seungho desiring the love/adoration that comes from a real place, and not out of fear or convenience.
