Idk why you all are blaming MC. Unlike ML, MC has more to lose wheb it comes to love. You need to understand MC is working in a field that is alpha-dominated. And to gain power that he has gotta be more careful and ruthless than his alpha counterpart, cuz he will scrutanised more. People are always waiting a chance to pull down the 'omega who is playing at being an alpha'. And the middle of all this is the dude he likes, who is tryna intefere in his aspiration. I would call anybody who after years of hardwork and effort lost everything for love, while you are not 100 percent sure about their love for you an idiot. Have u all not read enough stories where the MC trusted the useless ML and lost a lot?
We know Lee Hyundo loves him and cares for him, but can MC be 100 percent sure. Even we had doubts in the beginning over trusting Hyundo, but we realised it's ok cuz we read his thoughts and past. MC does not have that luxury, the moment he softens, the moment he decides to stop being suspicious of everything is the moment he'll lose everything.
And u all having problems with MC forgetting ML's so called promise, that was some random thing MC told ML. Have you all not enough stories where the ML latches on to some random words of the MC and make it their personality?
