the ml did hate the mc originally or something like that, he was acting this way/forcing mc to date him out of revenge but does fall for him haha, although im not sure when the switch is from him having motives to loving mc. we will get his pov soon (novel readers have been saying that) if you're curious you should read the novel (i havent just read some spoilers here)
THANK YOU SM FOR THE SPOILERS I KNEW THERE WAS SMTH UNDERLYING THERE HE WAS SO SNEAKY AND HAD KINDA AMBIGUOUS INTENTIONS BUT AT THE SAME TIME HIS FEELIMGS SORTA LOOKED GENUINE TOO SO THIS MAKES SENSE
i love thisss but the ml is so sketchy i dont know what he’s thinking and idk i can trust him shdjwhhd
