You can't go wrong with childhood friends so I like it, tho I think the 12yr age gap is kinda insane, maybe 8 or 10 I could do I guess, but 12 really is pushing it. I really liked their dynamic and it was really cute. Although only in fiction, if this played out irl I would find it heavily morally and ethically dubious. I actually did enjoy it and I liked the art style too. However, I think it didn't really depict the black haired dude as an actual grown 30 year old man. For one, he looks really young like he looks like blond dudes ages, which makes the 12yr age gap seem like nothing since the audience has no visual cues that remind us of their crazy age gap. Then towards the end he kinda talks like a prude and it irked me, because he's a grown ass man and he can't find it in himself to say "I like you" or "I love you " or properly ask his crush out. He's always blushing too and stuttering, which I'm not saying 30yrs couldn't act like this, it's just that he doesn't seem like the older one in a way. Like maybe this is me being too judgmental, but for someone his age and 12 years older than his bf, I'd expect a bit more decisiveness and maturity. Also, he kissed the younger one while he was inebriated and the manhwa never addresses it again. He also kinda irked me when he said he liked blond ml more than him when he himself has never once uttered the word "I love you" and also the fact that blond ml has loved him his ENTIRE life whereas he only liked him for a while (hopefully or else he'd be a pedophile lol). Then I also disliked the way he gave the rings, like it's not like we saw them actually have sex so there was no romantic tone at all and the wake-up scene is something we already saw before so this entire setup was so plain and boring and didn't need to happen. It could've happened before, and we could've seen black haired ml appear as how blond ml sees him and finally professes his love for his next door neighbour, but instead we just see a bumbling idiot in his underwear. I'm being too harsh I know, but I just feel as if the author created the perfect atmosphere already with the date and yet they discarded that whole setup for nothing. Like they had an entire meeting over the date and what? He "proposes" the next day in their underwear rather than after their date when they were both dressed up and had the time of their lives?

But overall I did like it
