Spoiler He loves him, He realises his feelings for Ml at the end. Lmao i don't think they have read the novel Min
You are the one who clearly didn't read the novel. The mc gives up at some pont, after realisng he can't scape the king. So he just accept him, like a Stockholm syndrome
HOW DID THEY END UP AS A COUPLE?! 1. Age gap: Kid was a teen when they met and I’m assuming Daniel is in his mid to late 20s 2. DANIEL WATERBOARDED HIM?! 3. ON TOP OF THAT, KID WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDER OF HIS TEAMMATES AND THE LOSS OF HIS ARMS?!
Just give him a break let him rest already
