Oh, I forgot to mention, the uke hasn't told the seme that he liked him just yet. He is hiding it from him, hoping that he won't notice. Also, uke wears eyeglasses, I think, and is currently working as a (highschool) teacher.
OMG! YOU'RE AN ANGEL! THANK YOUUU~
So, the thing is, I, very unfortunately, forgot to save that one yaoi manga that I've read not so long ago -- and... I need your help 'cuz I couldn't really recall what it is called.
All I could remember is that it is in a manga format, not manhwa nor manhua, and how the story goes... it is a story about two guys from different countries that became friends as they get to know eachother.
NOTE: Their roles wasn't established just yet, but based on what I have observed, the Japanese guy is the uke whilst the Chinese guy is the seme.
The seme transferred to uke's university where he, then, met these group of friends that used to hang out with the uke. This friend group stopped hanging out with him because he often say that he has this part-time job, which they think is a lie 'cuz of this rumors about him being rich. Uke wasn't really an antisocial or whatever, it just that he has a part-time job at this bookstore far away from their university, which he did on purpose because he didn't want them to know that he works there. So, yeah, they think that the uke looks down on them that's why he didn't want to hangout with them, saying that he has work as an excuse-yada-yada-yada. While working, the uke saw this friend group with the seme, talking about where they should go next. He hid and overheard that the seme wants to part ways with them as he has this part-time job he has to go to. They let him go and just left, thinking that he just didn't want to go. So, the uke's shift ended, and he happened to encounter seme at the train. I forgot if they talk there or not, all I could remember what happened next is that the seme went to uke's table instead of that friend group over lunch the next day. Uke asked him why and he said something about he find them tiring to be with. Like, tiring, in a sense, where he find them hard to communicate with as they were really kind of rowdy to his liking. Plus, he is a foreigner. He can't really understand Japanese just yet and they keep talking to him to the point that he doesn't have any idea what he is agreeing on about. And, he also mentioned that he kind of find uke calming and chill, in a way. And, then, flashforward, they have gotten close and graduated as best friends. The uke discovered that he liked seme. The seme went back to his hometown, leaving uke behind. But, he promised him that he'll comeback when he had the time, which he kept. Uke kept waiting for him-yada-yada.
Overall, the story is great. I think the chapter hasn't reached ten chapters just yet. It has a best-friends-turned-to-lovers dynamic. I love the pacing of the story -- like, legit, no complaints whatsoever. Actually, the pacing of the story (aside from the plot itself) is what makes me adore this manga, 'cuz majority of the stories now has a really fast-paced pacing. Either it started slow, then, BOOM! They suddenly became a couple. Or, it started fast, then, slooow... Like, they just wanted to milk the couple out, which is a no-no for me. So, yeah, if you happen to know it, PWEAAASEEEHHH! LEMME KNOW! 'CUZ I REALLY LOVE IT! I'M JUST DUMB ENOUGH TO NOT SAVE IT BEFOREHAND, .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.
