Oh yeah that’s true it’s sad to see when we see how much the MC loves him. But also tbh the ML also expresses how this was supposed to be a casual thing from his part. I guess his character doesn’t allow him to perceive things in a certain way (like we probably didn’t realize how much he meant to MC) maybe a backstory might redeem him.
Btw not sticking up for asshole ML tropes just sharing my thoughts on this cuz certain one. this BL intrigued me it’s a new concept lol. Hoping we don’t get generic douchebag ML poopoo redemption arc backstory and something actually substantial.

I know people already said this but wth. Like, i get that he didnt remember mc when they were in high school but then in uni, why they date him and break up like that? And you didnt even think about him once? He is such an axshole tf. I really hope mc takes his stand. Its so sad when we look at from mcs perspective, he really deserves better.
