"Yearning" isn't what he did for 7 yrs. He rejected a guy who confessed and accepted the deal that he'll sleep with him once. Then, he alone, was the one who couldn't move on from that. That's not yearning. I think what most of the commenters want is active act of pursuing his love and for him to yearn for Hyun that way
basically the trope is “uke fell first, seme fell harder”.
I mean, the ML is definitely is so hung up and acting quite ridiculous trying to impress (seduce) the MC. I really hope MC wont give in to that face easily, ML needs to yearn and beg first
