To those who read the novel can you please spoil me about the friend. He is kinda sus (even tho hi is so damm hot)

The friend is actually chill lol. I had my suspicion at first too and thought he's 2nd ml but he's not, he's just the overprotective friend. Altho it does feel like there's some hints dropped about his feelings towards hajin but it's not romantically at least? He actually likes both top and bottom, he let ml get close with mc cuz he knew ml is a nice guy. He's actually even quite supportive for their relationship lol. At the very least he's obsessive but not possessive towards hajin and dude did not do any red flag things and have only been protecting hajin as far as I remember.

He said that those two suits each other very much (not in a jealous tone but in a cheerful happy way) . I actually like that dude lol bro's just chill even if he got obsessive tendencies he never cross any lines. It was never confirmed if he actually do have romantic feeling towards hajin or not though. He's just happy to see hajin have someone he can lean on since his family is trash

Dw cuz I also read the novel before just to see if he actually the 2nd interest or will do something to mc too lmao. He never want to date him or took a chance with mc even when the mc and ml did not meet each other for a year in the side story. There is 2nd interest but it's not the bff, it's the og novel male lead

Is he at fault Defenitly but let's not act like fl made that much of effort beside the perfume and dressing sexy(even tho she knez that wouldn't work) either. He could have told her from the beginning but she could also have asked. And beside she let them talked about her like that she should have put them in their place but instead just cries. Like how is she going to be the duchess if she cries when people talked bad about her. Even if your husband is not sleeping with you, you are still the duchess for god sake, you can't be fragile and wait for him. Cause sex is not gonna change the fact she is an incompetent duchess. And he like I get it you are traumatized but is your mouth for decoration? He knows how high society works and proceed to do absolutely nothing to make sure his new bride that came from afar is comfortable and living happily. Like you don't have to have sex with her but is it difficult to threat her with respect she deserves as your wife? Can't he at least have small talk with her, have tea time with her or anything else? Or does sex trauma take away your abilities to even say hello?

Are you forgetting she grew up in a completely different environment (being raised as just a step above commoners) and that woman responsible for teaching her how to fulfill her dude is one of the people talking shit the most?? Not to mention women in this context have to be subservient to their husbands so if she doesn’t have the favor of her husband then she is completely powerless.
He would avoid her, not touch or comfort her in any way. How can she exert any power over the staff when seemingly no one respects her??? Tf?
Oh my blood pressure. If one day I reincarnated into a story I hope it's this one so I could beat that mf
