Y'all hate on Xinlu but he has probably the best intuition here. Smartest character right after Jaeui bc he was the only one that noticed Ilay and Tay had a thing for eachother when no one did. Ilay should have noticed he likes Tay when he allowed him to call him by his first name and Tay should have noticed he likes Ilay when he worried about how Ilay thought of him instead of Xinlu (who is the one he supposedly likes mind you!!) when he literally walked in on them fucking. Not even Chang In or Kyle noticed even though Ilay acted so unnaturally. Anyways they were lowkey all over each other from the start. Xinlu wouldn't have felt so threatened if Ilay was just fooling around and if Taeui didn't feel anything for him. But he noticed genuine attraction from both of them and the potential for it to become something greater.
