But thinking about it, it's not such a dark plot twist.
I mean, he only lied about the public hair to give him more confidence about himself. As a friend, I would probably do it too if needed.
Also, he never pushed him in any way against his friends and never stopped the girl who supposedly had a crush on the mc. He was just faster in approaching him than her in the end.
