he's been in love the whole time<3

the ML generally seems quite standoffish/uninterested in the FL/ML at first but we come to find out he's overcompensating for his feelings for her, that trace back to before the plot started. The FL/other ML is unaware of these feelings at the start of the show/film.

E.g.

In Radio Romance, the ML seems to have something out for the FL based on their initial interactions, but we soon find out that SPOILER they were each others' first loves

In Cherry Magic, the primary ML only finds out about the other ML's longstanding feelings for him through his newly-gained powers; the other ML doesn't outwardly show his feelings much at first

perhaps a little out of place in this list but the late addition of him seeing/falling for her first and the "i found you" callback when the first 'meet' (or when we initially thought they first met) makes me want to put it on here

again slightly out of place as he isn't standoffish but we do get that late reveal of him seeing her at the gallery/ recognising her when they "first" met at the bar
