@Kokoro That was probably the whole point, to show how mc's infatuation works once the veil is lifted. While that hyung's reaction from the point of mc's confession till him realizing (after thinking everything over) he'd rather take a chance to explore a "new terrain" might be a rather logical step in exploring himself, in fact. An interest born from "to-be-or-not-to-be" would rather fail to develop to smth more, though.
