Now that's confusing because you can't say that he loves candy since childhood since the blooming of his lingering affection has been directed on the glasses guy along the way so it shouldn't change anything(?) It still feels like shit for me T◡T
He had affection on childhood Yunjae but the whole fall inlove thing is directed to the glasses guy not childhood nor present candy. That affection can't turn to love just on memory w/o the present, glasses guy, affecting him. He's "able" to commit, he just didn't act on it for a long time to glasses yunjae. Candy was very forward on 'wanting' him that helped them progress more but he's still fond of glasses guy╹◡╹
There will always be that "what if.." and "if only.." in her situation like if only he tasted her tea atleast one time before would he also ask for another cup? It's so simple but she never know the answer to those little things that would have made her feel less miserable before. It will be weird to not have any grudge, her own experience and feelings that time are also valid and true regardless the reasons behind.
That whole chap50 was like how to have a bestfriend real quick
