he isn’t whipped at ‘first’ seeing as how he (a narcissist playboy mind you) thinks ml is an absolutely ugly fuck when they first meet and in his own head judges the living shit out of him

but the hotel room scene in chapter 2? dude I think ml actually momentarily broke him lmao

(but rest assured that yes mc despite his own denial does definitely fall first absolutely in the literal squidward sense of oh no, he’s hot! and as of the latest chapter is without a shred of a doubt head over heels for ml and the feeling is mutual)

to summarize: mc (who’s a yellow ish flag to start) works in an office where he’s popular and admired by his co workers who’re all unaware it’s a front and that he’s actually a narcissist playboy

as outside of work he’s hooking up with guys and on dating apps but can’t find love no matter where he goes or looks (while again, he judges the living shit out of his own hookups and people)

but he meets the ml who’s a co worker of his but also his polar opposite with the two going on a business trip that results in them sleeping together and making a deal that if mc doesn’t fall for him they can keep sleeping together

(yes there’s a short 8 episode anime adaptation but it basically just retells the manga up till chapter 24 I believe? with minor changes such as in the dialogue while still fully including the original sex scenes so it’s up to you if you wanna check it out with the uncensored version alongside the dub which is superior imo especially the mc’s voice actor who nailed it)

(also gonna mention it got a recent live action adaptation that’s actually pretty loyal to the original and really good so I can’t complain about it and I don’t even usually care for live action adaptations anyway)
