there really is no point in having a 2nd ml when the story is so short. should've just went with the classic "mc starts to avoid the ml on his own which makes the ml realize his feelings". a 2nd ml is only satisfying when the story is long enough to build up the idea of a potential relationship. it's just kinda cringe in this scenario because he has no hope in the first place.
started reading this for horny reasons but now i'm invested in the plot lmao
