Newest chapter has mc catching them in the act with the gangster dude on top of injured ML. MC tries to reason with gangster dude to stop. And gangster dude is thinking, “this is part of your plan all along! To make me do all this so mc could see!” (He still isn’t taking any accountability that he made his own choices to end up in this situation and keeps blaming it only on the ML tbh). ML is of course acting out the part like “run away MC!” While whispering to gangster dude something like, “you had to chance to just silently go.” And as mc is helping ml walk away, gangster dude gets up and once again tries to kill ML. It shows blood but doesn’t show who gangster dude stabbed.
Like I said before, both guys are red flags. One is aware of how bad they actually are (ML) and the other is the delusional type (gangster). Even when the gangster had several moments to be better and be more mature as the older party, he just kept going. Even when he was let go by ML, even when he was stopped from his first and second attempt at murdering the ML, he STILL kept choosing the wrong choice by going to kill the ML again.
So mc has the choice of going for a ML who he already knows is a bad person, or the gangster dude who won’t listen to anyone but his own wishes. (That includes mc,,he doesn’t give af that mc rejected him, he’s still delulu thinking they’ll end up together if ML is dead).

The only reason I’m going this hard on the gangster guy is because there’s too many people who are naive here that think he’s an angel. While ML is already self-explanatory, and everyone knows about how he is. Although I still think the author could’ve written a better path by making the gangster dude couple up with the brother- they might have just made another toxic couple in that case if this is how gangster dude was gonna be anyways.
