Tbh I like MC with glasses more. They kinda have more chemistry.
Idk, for me it seems like author was just a little lazy with this part of the plot.
And it seems guy with glasses misunderstood ML as much as ML misunderstood him, so it's not like he can clear misunderstanding when he doesn't know he was misunderstood. And main lead still flinches whenever guy with glasses wants to touch him. But anyway, I just think it's a little lazy writing with misunderstanding, timeskip and all
This isn't love, this is obsession.
