It's kind of a pet peeve of mine when authors have their characters say "I'm not gay" when they clearly are (unless it fits the storyline/situation). Gyoon had no problem locking lips with that guy so struggling with his sexuality doesn't appear to be central to his character. And nothing has hinted to him being bi/pan. We don't have to see him kissing a girl or anything, but he hasn't given off any bi vibes or shown any interest in women whatsoever; it would just be an afterthought.
I'm bi myself, and I appreciate visibility, but unless the story hints otherwise and changes my perspective, I have a feeling the whole "i'm probably not gay" had nothing to do with questioning his sexuality/being bi and everything to do with the author not wanting to say "gay". I supposed there is the possibility of him not feeling attraction towards anyone, so he doesn't consider himself gay (but he seems obviously into the cute delivery boy so that is 99% not the case). I could be wrong in all of this or probably just reading into it too deeply. Which is fine, I just wanted to rant a little Σ(  ̄□ ̄||) I call it the "Not Gay Gay Guy Syndrome"
It's always been common in Japanese manga as well. Characters have this weak cop out of "I don't like men but I like you" because the author doesn't want to say they they are gay. I dunno, this trope just kind of irks me sometimes. The LGBTQ community is treated with more taboo in east asian countries compared to the west, so could this be the root of this weird logic the authors have sometimes?
