1. That interest can still later develop into something genuine
2. Its highly likely that thats the only way he understands having 'piqued interests' towards a potential romantic partner cuz aint no way he grew up healthy
3. That's impossible. Also tae ha shouldnt be labelled as a jerk tgt with a shitcheolshow. He's not down in the dumps him.

His upbringing may play a part, but I’m actually in the story for Haesoo’s happiness while Mincheol regrets losing her. Whether Haesoo finds happiness on her own or with Taeha, that’s fine. If she ends up being happy with Taeha, that’s good. If she’s gonna happy without Taeha, that’s great as well.
I’m not gonna force and hypnotize myself that Haesoo must and must only, no other way, should end with Taeha or i’m gonna kill myself. I’m not like that.
His dialogue is disappointing because he finds the thrill of being challenged with Haesoo’s responses exciting, plus he finds the idea of being caught electrifying.
To be honest, Haesoo doesn’t deserve someone who would interact with her out of pure “piqued interest” when she just lost the love of her life. As someone who lost themselves for love like Haesoo, Taeha’s dialogue is very disappointing.

Idk I feel like he's actually into her, like REALLY into her to the point of obsession. For example in this chapter, him wanting to be caught is not just for the thrill, it's him being jealous and petty. I believe he's always genuinely liked her, probably due to some encounter they had in the last (hoping I won't be proven wrong because that's probably when I'll drop the story )
I thought Taeha was genuinely interested in Haesoo and that he might just been having difficulties expressing himself, but turns out that he’s just liking the thrill Haesoo gives him and the challenge he gets from her.
I was rooting for Taeha and wanted Mincheol to suffer, but man… I’m starting to think that my queen deserves to find happiness on her own without these two jerks.
