I think Chinwoo’s strong feelings for Jihyun is just him missing his best friend. In the flashback, they were inseparable as friends. But he never had romantic feelings for Jihyun.
He’s being cautious of Kyujin and trying to keep a distance because he’s noticing a pattern that is similar to how close and attached Jihyun was to him. And look at how that situation ended. Chinwoo hasn’t shown any romantic feelings towards Kyujin either. I think it may be starting to lean a bit that way though.

Yeah I guess but it doesn’t seem that way in the raws. It seems like the main is shifting from one to the other but starts to stick somewhat closer to the guy he hates but he also ends up confusing me more when he allows kyujin to kiss him but I’m just wondering what is really happening that we have yet to find out

I saw the raws but can’t read Korean so I didn’t want to make assumptions. But if I were to make one, I see Chinwoo usually trying to calm the situation, and sometimes the only way Jihyun will calm down is if Chinwoo takes him away from that situation. Chinwoo is also in constant fear that Jihyun will blow up and hurt him or someone again. I don’t think it has anything to do with Chinwoo being in love with Jihyun. I’m sure he still cares for him very much.
Honestly I’m confused the main seems to still have some strong feelings for tattooed guy but at the same time hates him but he seems to feel attracted towards the other guy because he more or less reminds him of tattooed guy.
