i agree, but i don't think that's a bad thing necessarily...people will have different dynamics with different people, and hr is no different, i think if you compare his relationships with all the teamies, all of them are distinct from each other with some overlapping similarities. that being said (maybe i'm just a delusional makrunger) but i feel like the fact that harua DOES treat maki so differently is what makes them stand out to me. harua is very careful with maki's emotions, and very aware of the fact that maki is the only member younger than him. this is all speculation, but i really don't think it's one sided, just a very purposeful fragility that harua doesn't want to ruin. like he cares about maki so much that he doesn't want to get too close and potentially ruin something. my thesis has always been that harua treats maki that way because he's both hyperaware of maki's feelings for him and also simultaneously not really ready to confront those feeling inside of him...harua is someone whose biggest fear is to be misunderstood and then we have maki that wants nothing more than to understand harua...but from harua's perspective that's scary asf because i don't think he realizes how deeply intimate being fundamentally understood is. anyways, that's my coke rant and personal opinion, but i also realize makrung is not for everyone and that's Okay
