The ML is trash but stop enhancing whatever was between MC and the second dude.
First, the second dude has his own agenda and has shown egotistic behavior; he doesn't see further than his own nose, and when he "saves" the MC, it's to have him for himself as a trophy. I won't ever forget how he put himself in a situation that KILLED HIS MOTHER to leave his "impossible love story". Many times, he had questionable behavior and had acted like he was sexually obsessed with the MC.
Then, MC isn't in love with second dude, it's the first man in his life who treated him like he wasn't a monster, who helped him, he is grateful for him it almost feel like he is in debt to him. The second dude was the one who changed their ancient relationship to romance and he followed. I am not saying he wasn't attracted at some point; he was, but he didn't choose him either. Even here, the first thing he thinks about is "After everything he had done for me, I wanted to repay him in kind". This isn't love.
Anyway again, I saw a comment that says it's yaoi to its finest, and I couldn't agree more. I understand that some of you hate the ML because how can you not, but it's a story with an MC and a clear psycho ML, and it doesn't shy away from that; it's useless to romanticize and create new narratives to feed your discomfort with the story. Just drop it.
