Yea he was distant for a few chapters but you can’t equate that to him actively trying to make the MC miserable. I’d be a little frustrated too if someone made out with me, even if they had no romantic interest whatsoever(which wasn’t the case, but still). You’re acting like he’s a manipulative mastermind that calculates his every move and “works a lil trick” (wtf?)
ALSO, you’re acting like him hooking up with other ppl is a bad thing? He’s totally within his rights to have flings if he thinks a relationship won’t work out with his crush because their straight, or uninterested
and while we’re on that subject, is not confessing supposed to be a morally incorrect action? Not wanting to be rejected for having a crush now makes you an evil peice of shit wallowing in self pity? Get a grip. No one is forcing you to read this, and you allowed to not like a trope. But your inability to see the nuance in a story is very telling of a narrow mindset. It’s a cute story and you are miserable. And I’m probably more miserable for replying to this stupid thread

Bro you're the one with the one-sided crush, you're the one hung up on him, you don't even confess but you don't wanna go to a diff school so that you can healthily move on but keep having hookups so you can move on (where is the logic bruh) while keeping him nearby so you can wallow in your self pity lmao. And then have the nerve to be mean to uke
