my point still stands tho. Not remembering a "promise" they made in childhood is not a crime nor sin. Instead of communicating & clarifying his intentions, he chose to become a threat and compete over the one thing he knew MC had worked his entire life for. Imo, it was selfish and fcking stupid. If I was MC, I would also find it hard to believe someone who professes their love for me in bed, and out of bed is trying take what's rightfully mine, except I also have to work 10 times harder than anyone else just to prove myself, simply because I'm an Omega, not because I'm any less qualified or competent! but sure let's blame and hate MC for not being a darn mind-reader, and for not wanting to give up his life's hard work for a man! A man that's trying to fulfill his romantic dream even if means hurting me and my position in the process.. but oh, apparently he's doing all of this for me so I should stfu and be grateful?! ( ̄∇ ̄") they could have taken on this quest together and MC would have been spared from all the anxiety insecurity and scrutiny, but no he decided his little childhood promise was more important than MC's mental and emotional well-being and sense of security! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
just my two cents on this ridiculous "plot".

the amount of people riding ML's dick and hating MC for fucking existing is mind-boggling! its giving misogynistic-society-that-blames-women-for-anything-and-everything-instead-of-holding-men-accountable-for-their-actions-and-behaviors vibes!
