i totally understand where you're coming from. after rereading this, i think the blonde guy actually always loved the gray hair guy all this time. he was just so caught up in his fantasies and loved the whole fate idea. i mean after all these years, he barely even knew his first love. he was even confused why he was more upset that gray hair guy tried to leave him than his first love having a boyfriend. i think after leaving behind his fantasies and snapping back to reality, did he finally realize who he actually loved.

I don’t know if it’s me, but I’m a bit disappointed with how the story is going so far. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the story at first with the main couple and all, yeah, I’ll admit that the story is cute, but the second couple makes me mad. I still believe to this day that the gray-haired guy deserves so much better than the blonde, and then this chapter popped up. I’m not really sure how to feel towards this latest chapter. It just gives off the impression that the blonde is finally noticing this guy after being rejected. He’s just choosing the second option off of his own comfortability, at least that’s how I see it. And I mainly wish that, instead of this chapter, we could’ve seen more attempts by the blonde to learn more about the gray-haired guy and to love him properly after all these years of the guy following him and practically doing everything for him. But they jumped into this. Horny shit and all.
They should also bring back the main couple; after all, this is their story, technically speaking. But that’s my opinion at least.
