Bellagio

I think Rio always feels that people in the showbiz field never take him seriously. He always feels like he is riding Keichi's coat tails. On a personnal level, he might have felt like he never belonged in place : with Shingo happily married to Keichi and his Dad with Takamizawa. He's a little lonely and he's looking for someone who'd look at him like Shingo to Keichi and Takamizawa to his Dad. Based on what I understand until the next chapter.

Exactly ! Couldn't have said it better.

You spoke my very thoughts from word to word!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧I have always thought that about Rio from the very first chapter and the way up to now.(⌒▽⌒)

I do think him being rejected so blatantly will be good for him while it may cause some drama before the two finally fall/admit their feelings as a character I believe it will be good for him as it will teach him two things. (●'◡'●)ﾉ

One, things will not always go according to how he wants just because he wants it living with his dad in his mansion he no doubtedly was able to have whatever he wanted. Being refused now and probably for the first time will show Rio how he will not be able to obtain the uke as easily as how he wanted and will give him a chance to grow as a person and a character. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Two, it will also teach him if he wants something bad enough he is going to need to work hard to obtain it or in this case namely earn the uke's trust and respect him as a person. (▰˘◡˘▰)

Now I have NO idea if this is the direction the author wants to goΣ( ￣□￣||) but all I am saying I am glad the uke refused Rio as it gives opportunity for him to grow as a character and find his place in the world without feeling he is being constantly shadowed by his Uncle.ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~












P.S I didn't mention Rio falling for the uke mainly because given how things are going I don't see Rio falling for him completely yet.(⊙…⊙ ) I do think he might be attracted to the uke but it doesn't seem to be quite there although given how he was denied who knows maybe he will.(￣∇￣")
