I think the problem with him is he’s such an unreliable narrator. He made us think that theyre not close and that Hyun was the bad guy for ghosting him after sleeping with him, and now he wants some emotional revenge or smth. Also hes really annoying at first coz he keeps insisting that Hyun is nothing to him but he actually wants this cookie so bad. Like bro denial is a river in Egypt
i think it’s his mentality. he’s been friends w this dude since high school, but internally views him as a plaything, and then internally demeans him if the guy adverts his expectations. i guess it’s just that his kindness feels insincere with ulterior motives, even if he’s just bluffing out of self-denial. because even if he’s thinking this way to explain his interest in the guy, the fact that he seems to believe his way of thinking to be justified when it’s a really demeaning perspective on his own friend just feels icky.

I really see nothing wrong with blondie, he's genuinely sweet and friendly in this past arc especially! It's not like he should expect a guy to fall in love with him the constant "punishing" kind of annoys me ngl
