If Ray or Hildegarde would just say they love the other and it's not because of the contract, it would save them both the hassle of wondering if the other actually is in love with them. Ray take your father advice for once and actually talk instead of guessing her thoughts on your own. It's a bit ridiculous how the two go out of their way to make up weird things about the other saying yes or no. How about just voicing it instead like how you voice your opinions about the countries affairs and your needlework? That's apparently too hard to do. While I do like this story, this simple situation could've been resolved a whole lot sooner but then I guess we wouldn't get drama from that.
I'm trying to remember it but I don't remember where I saved it. It was a yaoi manga about how this guy has unrequited love for his friend and meets this salesman who picks up his train(?) pass outside the cafe store or I think restaurant. They both frequent that place. Eventually uke's unrequited love tells him he's moving to wherever city(Tokyo I think?) he lives in. The seme(salesman) would sometime flirt with uke. Eventually, the seme and uke spends some time together to see if uke is supposingly gay or at least stand the touch of another guy.
Uke has a friend who has a story about him dating their high school teacher. He's somewhat aware of uke liking their friend.
It's a chinese manhua about the mc is murder during her wedding night by her best friend and husband. They leave her to die but she threw out a grenade (powder mix, idk what you call it) that she was planning on giving to her husband and killed all of them. She ends up traveling back to the past to when she was in middle school. She vows to get revenge on her so call best friend and the ex-husband who was actually her half brother. MC lost everyone she loved due to them.
If you plan to read this, just know not to take it too seriously. Porn with very little plot and a bunch of kinks. Leave your brain behind. Sometimes the uke is extremely weirdly drawn that you can't help but laugh at how absurd he looks.
