yeah i agree, the brother was such an asshole
I definitely agree on the first point. I think if the older brothers had a conversation about how it's okay to love who you want, the uke wouldn't have had such a hard time coming to terms with his sexuality
here’s the thing...
i disliked this story for a number of reasons.
1) i feel like the big brothers shouldve sat their little bros down and had a discussion with them about their relationship and what it means to love someone of the same gender. it was so irresponsible for them to be like “yeah i had sex with your best friends brother if you tell anyone I’ll kill you” like??? bro ur bro thought of u as straight ur whole life and then u come out as gay and ur first choice is to THREATEN HIM???
2) the uke was obviously struggling with his own sexuality and that shit is never easy. as someone part of the lgbtq+ community, i understand how it feels to have an internalized struggle of “who do i like” especially because it doesn’t fit with the society i live in. even now, it’s hard to talk about my sexuality because it doesn’t fit the “status quo”. i wish that he made another friend that he can talk about this with instead of relying on himself and his emotions.
3) the woman wasn’t that bad ngl. like it’s wrong to lie about pregnancy but i can see where she’s coming from. he wasted not only his time, his crush time, but HER time by not telling her that he’s not in love with him. the easier route would’ve been for them to be mature and talk it out but of course the author needs angst scene. i hate how everyone’s hating on her because her reaction was actually understandable. it doesn’t make it excusable, but i can understand it.
