well if someone i don’t like constantly say ‘i like u’ i’ll gone mad. but i think they’re actually comfortable with each other so it’s okay ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I think the ML does like him but he also just got closure from his previous relationship. Those things unfortunately take time to reflect, heal, learn, and move on. He asked for time. Yechan is being a bit pushy but he also is telling ML that he wants to show him love regardless in hopes it would help him heal (hence the whole farming metaphor). I think if ML really didnt like him in that way then he wouldnt have allowed it in the first place.
