both mc and ml are red flags. I pity the 'friend' who died he went through a lot.
I still get pissed off when i think about what happened to him.

"basically Male Lead is worst kind of person you can meet, it's implied that Taeshin died because his mental health deteriorated after his encounters with the ML. It hasn't been shown yet in the official release but the ML will call/trick Haewon to a mansion in the middle of a forest to have him play the violin for him. On the way out he tells Haewon a story about someone who got lost in the woods for 3 days once and it gives Haewon the creeps.
Anyways, in this Mansion it's revealed later in the story that there's a bunker in the basement. A place where rich chaebol sons gather and typically a "tribute" is brought in and they all take turns sexually assaulting the person. Woojin brings Taeshin as the tribute when it's his turn. Naturally this traumatized Taeshin bc he thought Woojin really liked him. So he ends up setting up his affairs & then takes his life because of that. It's revealed later that he's the one who got lost in the woods for 3 days while the Chaebols chased him down(adding insult to injury eh?)....
In the beginning chapters they show a box being delivered to Haewon from Taeshin. Had Haewon taken it seriously and looked through Taeshins diary at the very least he probably could've saved himself a lot of trouble. It explicitly warns about Woojin over & over and gives details... he even drew a picture of the "bomb shelter" where he was assaulted. So he didn't reeeaallly manipulate him into sleeping with other guys... he just threw him to the wolves, so to say."
