This might just be my own personal bias but I feel that Naruse is always the one to make the first move when it comes to communication. I may be wrong, but I feel like Yuki has to be the one to contact Naruse, usually she is able to express her feeling, but it's only when Naruse keep pestering her or acting up like a child (pouting) to make Yuki burt out her feelings out of frustration from his attitude.
I think Naruse may be doing the right thing here by letting Yuki come to him first and outright declare that she is jealous and scared of the ex. Now I know many of us are saying that Naruse should already know that she jealous but we have to make sure we take it from his perspective he is still a year younger than Yuki and technically this is their first long term relationship.
Naruse does not know that Yuki knows about the hug and why would he need to tell yuki all he did was stand there and do an award pat, I wouldn't consider it a hug. If Yuki asked he would have told her, he wouldn't have lied about and explained it. But Yuki let it get to her and sent Naruse to her and he did go WHY BC Yuki told him to go if it wasnt for Yuki he wouldn't have gone he is only doing what yuki told him to do.
Now concerning the most recent chapter, Naruse is giving Yuki space and he is not acting like a child becuase this time he doesn't know what he did wrong.
Lastly about Hakamada he should have called Naruse to check in Yuki but most likley he is going to go after Naruse and chew him out about leaving Yuki alone and making her cry which will make Naruse either go to yuki or hear out his explanation of why he is keeping a distance.
Now if you read all of this thank you and if you disagree with me feel free to reply.
I can understand other people opinion but I want to desperately believe than Naruse is bot hurting Yuki for no reason.
Honestly, Yuki did bring it up even though it was brief. He asked her what was wrong and she mentioned it, what was wrong was Naruse’s reaction. Instead of just explaining what happened he said it was none of her concern. For me, I would be pissed because even though it was a minor interaction, it was the the fact that I didn’t learn about it from you directly, instead I accidentally heard about it from my friends. Especially the fact that she learned about, gave it a couple days to sit and marinate and he still didn’t bring it up. Also Hakamada just needs to give up like Yuki has rejected him multiple times yet he still tries to make advances. I really hope that he doesn’t try to take advantage of the situation to play the “hero” or “savior” because in reality this situation has nothing to do with him, it is just a lack of communication on both ends.
After reading the latest chapter (ch.7) I feel like a heartbreak is going to happen soon. :( Cant put my finger on it but just a feeling I had after reading.
