I've reached the conclusion to stop excusing SaintShin's relationship to 'just bromance'. They're in love, no matter how I look at it.
Tbf, I think it'll be hard for Saint and Shin to realize their romantic feelings. They've been together since elementary school days and were each others' worlds, then stewed over guilt and anger for the last 3 years. It is only now that they're friends again and it's still so fragile.
It'll be hard because platonic love just doesn't go away. It just adds more and more love until you realize it's not enough or appropriate to box the feelings under the 'platonic' tag. It's especially harder for them since they already once lost each other. They'll make it a point to not do anything that might cost them their friendship again.
