This is a very interesting author and I as have just finished reading, I really this is a very full circle type or story. Even if a lot of this starts to feel very confusing, I would urge anybody to just finish it to the end unless you're like a lot of people I see in the comments who really wanted MC to end up with a certain somebody.
SPOILER BELOW
I think by the end of this what I really enjoyed was I guess the realism. Just love can't make a relationship work, and just because your best friends it doesn't mean you're going to immediately be a super in love couple. What happens with the MC and blonde Seme is that although they both loved each other, they wouldn't be able to move past what has happened. Not only that, but even if the blonde Seme feelings are true, he would need to get past his issues or could have done so while the MC was in the army.
Everything the MC said was true, neither of them can really trust one another / seme will be too insecure and jealous of others to an extended it puts a strain on their relationship. And although I think we could get like a whole other manhwa after story on the MC and and the best friend. It would essentially be you know them transitioning from best friend to lovers and their little relationship problems. I think the open-endedness could also suggest that maybe they don't end up together. We know the MC cares greatly for his best friend and he will always be there for him and vice versa. However, this doesn't mean that MC is in love with best friend, just that in this weird best friend way he's accepted his feelings. Because of how realistic the author handled the MC and blonde seme's relationship I think the open-ended ending actually works because we don't know what will happen.
I felt like I wasn't just reading a romance, mystery, or even a story, I felt like I was being taught a lesson. And when I realized that I found myself enjoying what the author wrote even more.
