Rin is secretly in love with Shotaro ever since they were kids to the point where Rin actively pushes away others from Shotaro's orbit and wanting only to be his no 1 and never really sharing his thoughts and feelings and when Shotaro falls in love with a girl, suddenly he's like "Damn, Shotaro fell in love with someone other than me?? How can he do this to me?! Waaah! Still I cant hate you, so I'm gonna make you hate me instead! Yeh! I'm brilliant and Thats how I'm gonna get over you" and goes around sleeping and being an ass but still being "boohoo, I still like you, wish I could turn back time and start fresh" and fakes amnesia just to get back with Shotaro
Shotaro meanwhile here is brooding about Rin and reminising about their past like he's some damn widow. I dont really think Shotaro is against being with Rin and had Rin been forward with his emotions then Shotaro would have happily accepted it and he's just sad that he and his best friend is drifting apart and is raking his brain to patch things up, its just that this manga pointlessly tries to make it seem like Shotaro's pain about unrecognized feelinga towards Rin when in reality, its just Rin being an idiot and causing this damn mess of a situation and pointless heartbreak
