Top is indeed already in love with uke, he has been from the start the only reason he's not acting happy about it with uke is because of his trauma. Basically his mom was mistress to his dad and his dad after some time got bored of her. she tried everything to win back his attention including making his son and herself look and act as refined as possible, however father was simply uninterested. after some time if i recall correctly mother died or killed herself, watching his mom acting so desperate for a man's attention taught top one thing that - if you want to keep a man you love by your side for a long time you shouldn't show him just how much you actually love him.
that's why top is so reserved in his reactions to ukes actions like removing ring, having/not having boyfriend . he thinks that if uke notices his feelings he'll soon get bored of novelty and leave him...
does this have novel or something?? does anyone have link if yes please

that one shot was weird but I didn't even like the conclusion for main one.
It didn't feel like black hair guy even actually fell in love with blone but instead was scared of being alone and knowing other women wouldn't settle for him, he himself settled for bloned??
art is cute but story is pretty meh for me, reality but still a meh...
agreed, it def felt that way to me too. they would've been better off as just friends. still it's nice to read bls that include persons w disabilities
They did address it briefly. He admits that essentially because of his disability he was hung up in the idea of grasping a normal life like everyone else and that he felt he needed to prove he could still do those things (a good job, marriage, etc) to prove himself in spite of his disability. But when he starts to look at the real world around him, he realizes ideals about the future aren’t boxes to fit himself into and that rather than fitting an preconceived idea of success he should focus on the things right in front of him that are real and already within his grasp. That a “normal” life wouldn’t erase his disability or make him feel more capable. Because on the other hand, now he’s not just disabled but also wanting to date a man in a country where he can’t get married to a boyfriend.
It wasn’t addressed well and the pacing was off and the emotions weren’t really explored. But there was mention of it.
