I think the problem is more like Hope = veteran, trickster ; Healteaser = innocent newbie. And since he fell for the "innocent Soobin" , who is now revealed as not so innocent at all, his image of Soobin is crashing. ... maybe?
He feels betrayed because soobin never told him and it's exponentied because he doesn't know why and he felt he was close enough with him for that, so now he's probably thinking soobin might not trust him or something
I agree tho ngl soobin was scared that he would hare him if he were to reveal le secrets so it kinda makes sense in a way. Both sides have valid reasons for their actions tbh
"I just don't want you to hate me......................................."
"Healteaser is Hope....? Soobin is.................... Hope..........................?"
Like earlier wasn't JJA saying that he was trying to invite Hope into the guild? It's not like he hated him, he was literally already trying to play with him more before but they're treating it like it's some life altering bombshell when it's more of a "Oh wow that's crazy I thought you got banned before we could play together but we have been this whole time"
liiiiike... lmao
but I guess it's pretty accurate to MMO players being over dramatic over literally nothing ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
