this was really so cute and fun and a chill read until we got to MC with the "I don't like guys just ML I'm actually disgusted thinking about me with other men trope" and I suddenly remember that they don't actually like gay people over there and that two attractive well-prospective men falling for each other is just a novelty to be enjoyed rather than an actual human experience
