I mean blondie is being his honest self, in the process of being a bit of an ass of sth he "doesn't want to do" aka dating his bff or losing him, he is discovering he likes aspects of Seohun that he didn't know he did, regarding how he reacts to blondie. So he is doing what Seo asked imo (which was already horribly risky of Seohun to ask), he can't just act like if he was a girl and be all serious all of a sudden and treat him differently. I mean he is not thinking but that's his whole character appeal he is impulsive and goes with the flow. But is looking at how his bff looks at him for the first time, & enjoying it.
I think it's obvious they will end up together by now so Seohun's plan will work and blondie will treat him the same as he is doing now + skinship. I didn't like the fact he was obliged to date him in a way I was so turned off , but it seems it's working and to me it was a very cute chapter...and Seohun doesn't seem to be annoyed by how he is 'testing' him, i don't think author wants to show blondie as a dick but that he is thinking about their relationship (he is) & that he noticed he can do what he wants and is wondering now what Seohun wants...so...he will ask him. Probably. Imo he will end up pushing his own ship that he didn't even shipped.
It's not that a flashback is bad or that one can' enjoy a plot driven story but some of us are just tired of Miley being a flashback lead again? You can't blame people to want the two MCs to have more time together or advance in story time, it's not like Miley was a 100% mc from the start. I also want more Jasper (&Hart) development regarding their issues, at this point i'm tired of pittying Jasper in someone else's eyes.
