Reading over comments I feel we may have over looked a few clues about Da-On, firstly his one on one interactions…
ahhh this is a good point. how do you think da on patting taekyung's hair or touching his cheeks (which taekyung pointed out that he doesn't do to anyone else) plays into this then? or like, how so hee noted, that when taekyung got hurt during the trip, da on dropped everything to go to him, but he wouldn't do the same for her. or do you just think da on did that because he wanted to be nice to the new student council member?
