I& #39;m not sure if you guys realize but the backstory of Haeil and Seungho (Kyungsoo& #39;s character) is actually inspired by Demian and Sinclair from a book titled & #39;Demian& #39; by Hermann Hesse.
I& #39;m gonna tell more about the similarities between these 4 characters in this thread.

Seungho met Haeil when he was being bullied by his friend, and Haeil saved Seungho.
Same thing happened with Sinclair and Demian. Demian is the slightly older, much matured new kid at Sinclair& #39;s school. He told Kromer off to stop bullying Sinclair.

Seungho admitted to liking Haeil& #39;s twin. Not mentioned explicitly in the musical but from the screeplays, it was kinda obvious that Seungho actually liked Haeil but he thought he liked Haeil& #39;s twin bc twins!!!

-girl looked like Demian. When Sinclair saw a portrait of Demian& #39;s mom, she looked exactly like the portrait he drew. Sinclair and Demian& #39;s mom bonded quickly, talking about a lot of things.
When war begun and Demian decided to enlist, Sinclair followed him. I forgot to mention earlier but Sinclair n Demian& #39;s mom Eva can speak telepathically.
B4 Sinclair went to army, Eva told him tht he can call her whenever he wanted to n Eva will send someone like her to his side

"Someone like her" obviously means Demian right? sksks
Sinclair then truly got wounded in battle. He summoned Demian and Demian came to him. Demian kissed Sinclair and said that it was from Eva. If you read the book, Demian actually lied and the kiss was from himself.

In Return though, because people are homophobics, when Seungho was in a trouble, Haeil& #39;s twin was the one who came to him, unlike Demian and Sinclair.
But, at the end of the musical, Haeil said this "I may not be his Demian but he will forever be my Sinclair." So Haeil had feelings for Seungho and Seungho too.
It was mentioned subtly like this that u will only get the actual relationship of these characters if u read the book

I haven& #39;t finished reading it though and wrote this from a plot overview I read when I was searching for Demian and Sinclair.

Also, I forgot to mention that the reason why there was an age gap between Seungho and Haeil was because Seungho was so amazed with Haeil being older than him as Seungho is a character tht needs to seek validations from someone who is older than him.
Sinclair is like this too.
Sinclair is like this too.
I have a pdf of this book so if you want to read it, just mention or dm me!! I will send it to you guys!
To conclude, Seungho and Haeil like/love each other. But society never tells them anything about male-male relationship and always talks about female-male relationship. So, they are unable to confess to each other. It was mentioned in the song that Kyungsoo sang.
Also, Return is a gay musical. There I said it.
