It's probably cos in the drama they are portraying what BL is really like from a perspective of a side character (the regular structure of a BL). Since the world they live in is a BL world and from the BL books usually the main characters fell in love with each other quickly and in some stories their love happens at a very fast pace, they might've tried showing that, 'this is a BL world and you cant escape your fate', kind of thing
In the live action he actually ends up liking someone which surprised me ngl especially since it happen so fast now we have to wait for season 2 too see what happens lol
