He kinda loved him. But he never learn what love actually was, so he loved him in the only twisted way he knew how to. Every shitty person out there has a backstory that can explain why they are shitty.
Hopefully he can learn from this. But I don't think he should start looking for someone to be with, until he can learn to be better
I'm really glad that the author made him more sympathetic with his backstories even though at that point he already went full-blown psychopath. Whenever I read a love triangle story I prefer if each rival has an equal chance with the main character and that can't happen if the character was truly despicable and evil..
Also, I like to think that he really did love Chiwoo, but because he grew up with an abusive father his definition of love became twisted. What he did was unforgivable, but at least he did felt remorse towards the end. I'm still glad he didn't end up with Chiwoo though..
