For anyone confused and want a brief summary, here it is, feel free to correct me or add any details that I missed. If I remember correctly, MC and Ml was having a secret relationship before and was sweet and loving until MC's father caught them having a relationship because MC was acting kind of weird and he had someone investigate it, imagine hiring a private investigator to investigate your son's life affairs ToT. Afterwards, MC got beaten by his father with bruises showing and all. Because MC's father deemed homosexuality as a sin, like what would others say, though beating MC if he did wrong was commonplace to MC's father so I am not surprised, he even locked his own son in their bathroom as reflection for hours. He thought that ML was the one who led MC astray. When ML discovered the bruises on mc's body, he was furious and asked how it happened. Mc just stayed silent, he wasn't good at confrontations, especially with his own father as he has trauma towards him due to his treatment. ML is frustrated and want to confront MC's father but mc refused and said he was fine. Ml could do nothing about it since it was mc's choice, then joke about "what if I vandalized or destroyed your father's workplace?" non-verbatim but it was something along those lines. Eventually, Ml met with Mc's father alone, it was the cliche scene of leave my son etc, but without the money, he said that mc was just confused for a moment, but he'll fare better later on with his guidance. I don't remember whether ml agreed or not but he's still communicating with MC. Things took a turn when Mc's father told ml's father about it, so now ml's father got into shock and was soon into a coma? I forgot, maybe he just collapsed. That triggered ML to confront Mc's father in his house with Mc there, saying how could he go this far and even entangle ml's own family in their own problems. Mc's father was unapologetic and nonchalant about it, he thought that to raise a "good son" like Ml, ml's father wasn't probably much better. Mc just stood there frozen, shocked by what he heard and couldn't process it all, he's probably still too traumatized to against his own father at that point. The moment ml leaves, mc finally reacted and confronted his father about it, that it was his own choice and ml didn't sway or seduce him. They had a huge argument about it and internally, mc thought that he would never see ml again as he never deserves him. Amidst their argument, someone calls mc's father, saying that his workplace has been vandalized or destroyed, I forgot which is it, but probably both. They rushed to the place along with m. Along the way, the mc remembered ml's joke about vandalizing or destroying his father's workplace so he thought it was his own doing, when in reality, it was that bully of mc who used to be a sucker of ml but couldn't go against ml, so when he discovered their relationship, he first use it to threaten mc but couldn't go far with him and decided with this stunt. Mc's father and Mc, argued again about the matter, mc's father said how delinquent of a person ml is and mc argued back that he's not like even though he's having doubts about him because of ml's words when he was beaten. Then boom, the two of them got into a car accident, ml's father died, finally, thank the author. Time skips and mc started living with his mother, he doesn't have the courage to contact ml throughout these years because he was guilty that he couldn't fight or protect they're against his father, and at the same time, he was guilty that ml was indirectly the cause of his father's death (vandalizing or destroying mc's father workplace which led both of them to get into a car accdient on the way). Even though mc hated his father, he still got conscience. All in all, mc thought he was a coward who didn't deserve ml but still longs and stalks him.

    It will probably be shown later on, and it'll clear up the misunderstanding between them.
