ohhh sn for sure!!! I feel like I-land was a very interesting period for sh bcs he never really interacted with boys in that caliber, so naturally, being 17 and called pretty by everyone, he fell into his more submissive side. Then sn approached him (I think it was the first time they acc interacted on cam) at that sink talking abt some "Are you friends with jk? I'm cuter than jk..." <-- gayboy supreme, I'm pretty sure sn was already so secure in his sexuality here (mind u, only 16 at the time), i feel like it helped him realize he could also be the one in control. so he started teasing sn without actually being aware sn has a fat crush on him (bless him, he just had no idea bcs he wasnt socialized in that way), but rather just thinking "hey i dont have to be submissive and just stand around being called pretty", so yeah, sn was a huge canon event for him but he only realized it later (id actually guess the realization happened sometime during dilemma/answer era)rip heesn
Sn knew the moment he saw sh for sure, but i bet he actually thought sh was just pretty and that his serene beauty would reflect his personality, and then sn got kinda annoyed when he realized sh just wont leave him alone lmfao. he was like "oh he's handsome i wanna be friends with him"(real sn quote btw) and then got smacked in the face with the sh tism. like, okay gayboys. sn just knew, but he deluded himself into thinking sh doesnt reciprocate so now we have this whole mess, whatever, i dont care.
