This is a different culture where dating doesn’t have a “exclusive dating” or another type of dating where they’re figuring things out. Pretty sure it’s just exclusive relationship, but with the way they jumped to it is EHH….
WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME usually means exclusive for them. So yes, it is technically cheating if MC is dating someone who is hiding what their job is (physical touch). Which, by the way, sex work is okay, as long as it’s mutually acceptable for both partners. Otherwise, leave. But MC doesn’t know, so…
Yeah ML is groomed into this sex work lifestyle, from a young age. His older sister too, a cycle.
Before anyone attacks me, pls understand that it doesn’t always mean non-exclusivity like western culture where you go on several dates with others…”Will you go out with me?” Can mean figuring it out OR exclusive already.
MC clearly likes ML, so why would he want a non exclusive relationship?
My bad, not sure why I’m arguing about this. You’re not wrong either, everyone has different interpretations. Hopefully things go well for these two…
I know a lot of people are hating on Mitsuki right now but inmy opinion it doesn't seem like they're actually in a monogamous relationship. Just bc you go on a few dates to get to know someone and sleep together doesn't mean you're S/Os. Yes, he confessed but Mitsuki never confirmed and also rejected kissing him. So i wouldnt call what Mitsuki did as cheating. Not saying he's not in the wrong at all. But come on, in what reality do people who are regularly beat and pimped out for years tell others that's happening. Especially when it's someone you've trauma bonded to doing it to you and a family member. It makes sense that he would be emotionally withdrawn, secretive, etc. I feel bad for both of them, but worse for Mitsuki. I know what it's like to be assaulted by family and while I was almost forced to sleep with someone it doesn't go further than hands. I can't imagine how awful it would be to be pimped out and assaulted regularly by my own sibling. I'd probably commit tbh.
