@| 🌴 ……………. mercedes ……………….. 🌴 | i feel like he already suspects and even expects it. that's why yeonjo has a "guard" and his presence was always monitored. also why hee-ryang was feeling guilty when it came out that yeonjo was innocent (it's a lie, of course, yeonjo injured himself to "show" his sincerity which finally made hee-ryang give yeonjo the benefit of the doubt) and he's softer now because he's trying to make up for it. but now that hee-ryang has left his guard down, the betrayal will be more painful.
