I found it similar the second I watched the pilot of Friend Benefit, also I have to watch Secret Lover, and I think Jai's character is not red flag as it was shown in the pilot, it probably more like a yellow or orange, he was probably dating those people who were actually Pik suitors, which was exactly what happened in Secret Lover, Tuo had a secret crush on his friend, but he hated with other people who were Jingxi's suitors, that's why we didn't saw anyone confessing him because Tuo was already clearing them away from his best friend, he was possessive, he didn't wanted to share his bsf with anyone, it's the same thing for Jai as well.
