nah he doesn’t anymore, at least on a romantic level. He lost feelings after he realized xinlu was trying to monopolize his feelings—the reason why he wanted to see xinlu again was so they could clear the air and end off on good terms since Taeui once had feelings for him too (and Taeui thinking that cutting ppl off abruptly goes against his philosophy and principles)
im pretty sure taeui has no feelings for xinlu now and is just in denial about liking ilay
you were right (づ￣ ³￣)づ
dragging out this delusional relation/fixation he has with xinlu is driving me crazy. we’re over 100 chapters and MC is still “but i like him” (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
