I hope the grey haired sunbae suddenly leaves the country or something!! He doesn’t like or love Hanjoo. He just views Hanjoo as a piece of property and is annoyed when that property isn’t easily accessible to him. The tree spirit is definitely creepy, but if he’s genuinely a manifestation of Hanjoo’s desires, ‘hyung’ is at least motivated by that. I agree with the other commenter that spirit-hyung is manipulating Hanjoo’s reality to mask how painful his life is. That’s suspicious yet…. to me, it’s nowhere near as alarming as the abuse and manipulation Chanyoung inflicts out of selfishness and entitlement. Sunbae finds it entertaining and pleasurable to hurt and control Hanjoo. That’s way too messed up!!
A happy ending for me would be if tree spirit hyung helps Hanjoo to find a livable version of reality where these weird familial imaginings aren’t happening. Hanjoo shouldn’t be with either of them!! He needs therapy! This is a BL story, though, so what’s more likely is he’ll end up with the grey haired abuser or something horrific like that
The chapters are sooooo short! I wish more progress could’ve been made before the season finale!
