Muheun never had sexual/romantic feelings for seungjoo while they're both young. He even foresaw seungjoo having gf and was like it is what it is. He saw their fate intertwined (guessing like soulmates) but he ignored it and thought it doesn't make sense because of age gap, growing up together and that unlike exorcists who don't care about gender, he thought seungjoo is trying to live normal life. Hence having girlfriend. He always thought of the innate feeling of longing for seungjoo was just because of their intertwined fate that he's seen. He distanced himself as much as he could, because the fate he saw didn't make sense. When he figured seungjoo (17) had feelings for him, he distanced himself even more cause he thought that maybe seungjoo only felt that way is because of the fate he's seen. When he started seeing that their fate connection was weakening and that there were no more hints of seungjoo liking him, that's when he started approaching again. Whenever he missed seungjoo, he just thought of it as because of the fundamental connection they have not because he liked him romantically. There was never a thought of getting together with seungjoo nor s*xual feelings. Until the first time seungjoo kissed him. He emphasized that the feeling he felt at the time was different from the times he'd spent with seungjoo when they were younger
[collapse]Though it's slowburn, I like how the author built up the story with Seungjoo's pov. By the time Muheun's pov was introduced and more things happen, I just keep thinking of how happy I am for the both of them. That I'm glad seungjoo finally *very mild spoiler* Spoilerdon't have to keep waiting for muheun anymore. That now he's always there for seungjoo
[collapse] I truly adore how the author emphasized that it was neither their primary goal to be together. They just want to peacefully be around and take care of each other.
