I don't think Jungseok is deliberately holding back or being misleading. I think he's just is emotionally not equipped for a relationship beyond casual dating at this point. Which is super frustrating and would make most people feel insecure. Gunjoon's feelings are legit and he deserves to be in a relationship with someone who actually includes him in his life

I mean it's not surprising that Hyunho is doing something dumb and possibly self-destructive in response? It's his first love and he's pretty obsessed and he got taken advantage of, so of course he's not going to make good decisions. I don't think he's thought of what his endgame is with this, beyond just hurting Eyan as much as he was hurt. Although it sounds like the song isn't that bad, and it's actually pretty accurate so idk

I actually don't see this as a misunderstanding trope. Lyle is upset not just because Ash didn't tell him about a major formative relationship but also because Ash's friends all seem to think Hazel was a better match (and are being insanely rude about it). Honestly if you're partner's friend group is so openly expressing that it's normal to wonder if your partner knows they feel that way and is, at the very least, comfortable with it
Ok now Ash talk some sense into your friends
