The manga artist is probably shaking things up with feedback from her other hit manga (cheeky brat) where the persistent 2nd ML was always an option even to the end, I don't know this feels too soon but it could a case where she was gonna say more after 'I like you too... but....' she might realise her feelings for Kaya after this?!?! I will say its not predictable at all, like shoujos usually are.
I think it could go either way, this shoujo isn't following its typical route, the fact she kisses and has a soft spot for kaya but her heart seems to want nasu.... but that can interpreted as a friendship which she never had? Usually in most shoujos you know who the ML lead is but this one is different. I think kaya will step up and distance himself, like character growth also there is this flashbacks of a girl so that could be his endgame??? I don't know....
So far it's really good. In the beginning the translations were abit weird so was not easy to follow but it gets better quickly. The 2 male leads are so handsome and nice this is the first time I've read manga/manhwa/webtoon that I actually really like both leads, usually you can tell early on who the FL will choose but here any are a win. Looking forward to season 2.
