Zen's Route

Hello, I'm new to the community. I've played this game like six years ago and only picked it up again recently. I don't know if this has been discussed before or not 😭 but why does the game shove Zen's route so much in our faces?

I'm trying to get to Jaehee's route, and on day four, there's a chat with Zen, Yoosung, and Jaehee called "No girlfriend". Jaehee sends a picture of Zen and I literally respond to him with "Not really my type". Then literally the next chat Jaehee says she thinks I've feelings for Zen! 😭 Like whaaaat? And sends a message to confirm I don't 😭💀 the writing is just like "PLEASE PICK ZEN!"
