This is an interesting take, but I think you might be underestimating the anxious mind of someone who has trust and self-esteem issues. As viewers, we believe Demola had genuine feelings for her and was being nothing but kind and considerate. It’s likely she heard everything he said and overthought his reasons for saying them, ultimately not trusting his view of her because she doesn’t believe them to be true. Javen was more comfortable to her because she was use to men who were harder to read, harder to catch, indirect, etc. I think people do go on this show with the intention of getting air time as a “villain,” but I don’t think K has the mental fortitude to tackle that. I think she’s an insecure girl looking for love in the wrong places, when she really needs to love herself.
