umhh

I dont think so, why would he pull such an elaborate prank just to validate hosik's feelings towards him. They were plenty happy already. If he wanted some alone time with hosik he can always send his kids to grandparents no need for the drama and hurting the readers（/TДT)/

Sunbae seeing hosik cry is too much for sunbae to see. He wouldnt want to hurt hosik. So i believe he isnt faking this.
