So ML is indeed in love with MC cause he's talking about placebo effect. Oh good, cause I thought he was just having fun and experimenting on him. I like that ML was actually hurt with MC being so eager that he found his namer partner, cause it clears things up with how he really feels.
Now I kinda have an understanding as to why he's not telling MC. He's not sure about how he feels, he doesn't know if he's only in-love with MC cause they're both namers. MC not knowing he's a namer and not immediately falling head over heels for him is the perfect way to confirm that. If MC falls in-love with him, then his feelings are genuine and not just some sort of magical pull that he can't control.
