No, you're right. I got those same vibes, and the author made the scene that way on purpose. This whole time, we have been thinking about the King like an adult, but let's be realistic here, he is a child stuck in an adult's body.
I'm laughing and smiling but also crying on the inside cause I literally hurt myself...
I'm literally thinking about how he acted when trying to cover his paper, idk why I thought this but to me he kinda seems like a kid at heart considering his childhood was stripped away from him and only Hyungnim was there for him. Teaching him how to bathe, eat properly, read, write and just so much other stuff. It's kinda like how a child acts when they're making something for someone and doesn't want them to peak so they cover it with their hands and or body.
I maybe just analysing it way too much but I'm in too deep man... the backstory really hit me hard.
