I think his purpose in this is that she will eventually realize that he is everything she needs and this will keep her beside him forever, and ofc when someone was in toxic relationship every bit of kindness is a huge deal for them and is really tempting, like we see her struggles, she knows its not right, but its hard to resist after such a long time of neglect
I see... I hope he doesn't edge her too much then and I wish he could communicate better with her instead of being so convoluted, but then we also wouoldn't have this plot smh （/TДT)/
Agreed with the first commenter, just wanna piggybank off of their comment. He also does things that feel cruel, like not texting her after consistently texting her, not accepting her invites and stuff bc he wants her to take a step towards him. He needs her to want to actively move past her ex, to actively choose taeha.
Maybe I missed something in erlier chapters. Maybe I'm just slow and have shitty reading comprehension when it comes to this manhwa, but I really don't understand Beom Taeha's actions and motives half the time. Does he trully like Haesoo? If yes, then why does it seem like half the time he intentionally does things that would hurt her? Also does he know her from somewhere before? We still don't know much of his POV and backstory. And why does he just scheme so much （￣へ￣）idk. I welcome any answers and ideas. I like Taeha so much (not more than his bodyguard tho, that dude is such a hottie) so I hope he doesn't have some evil motives and tendencies and doesn't make Haesoo suffer any more than she already had.
P.S. Kang Mincheol having his wakeup call a bit too late. I hope he gives Taeha a scare so Taeha actually clears stuff with Haesoo and confesses to her so the poor girl doesn't stress anymore.
