sorry if this is stupid but are you sure the romantic feelings are towards hao
im giving you the benefit of the doubt because i feel like it today and im gonna assume you're not a troll bc the third question was litterally about both of them and i pulled the lovers card lol.. but to answer your question, yes his feelings were towards hao because my question specifically included him.
Also im gonna take the liberty to address this for the first and last time, this idea that gay men just can't be loyal and that they fall in love with any man they interact with is just pure homophobia. whenever trolls mention this abt haobin's friends i can't help but wonder if they realize how bigoted and stupid that thought process is and that it's not affecting anyone.
