Hmm, I get where you're coming from, and yes, it does kinda seem like Sirang is too transactional about this love thing, but I also don't think that he doesn't care about Ho. Even if Kyunghoo was affected by that jerk of a brother, what he did certainly betrayed Ho's trust in him, nor was it okay for him to be so controlling about Ho's life either. And yeah, Ho has had a tough life, but I also think he's not quite mature or grown up. At the end of the day his happiness is what matters, but I also think he needs to be able to deal with his problems on his own, instead of relying on unconditional love and support no matter where that is coming from.
But ofc, you're more than welcome to ship who you want to! Your opinion is totally valid. (◡ ω ◡)
Ho's life was shit. *curse his mom & bro to death for abusing and bully a child. the one who truly love Ho was his real dad and Kyunghoon. I can't feel Sirang's love for Ho either (thru my fujo eyes). He keeps saying unconditional love, but don't you think he's been asking Ho for a return? like XXX after helping Ho? Imagine if Kyunghoon hasn't been with Ho all this time, Ho might end up being alone, lonely and sad. I know he was wrong. He was affected by the scum bro! don't hate me. I ship Kyunghoo with Ho. I just wish happiness for Ho after all things he went thru. not just XXX, but true happiness..when someone can genuinely love him.
*but uke kyunghoon X seme wolf not bad tho~
