especially since (in my reading) the writing implies that mc actually was fond of and close-ish to taeshin despite saying the opposite. why else would he feel such loyalty to him, or guilt over his death, or feel he’s the only one who went to visit him at the funeral?
mc has self-destructive behavior probably stemming from his mother’s death, etc., and his perspective makes his fairly normal if detached behavior to relationships seem worse.
MC keeps getting insulted by you all for literally nothing. First it was you all calling him the worst person on earth because of him being cold to a guy who literally harassed him and regularly called in the middle of the night to rant to him about his sex life. That guy was not his friend but a damn stalker. Now it’s some people calling him a hoe. Keep in mind he had regular sexual partners for years and didn’t just sleep around. This is completely normal. Why do you expect MC to be a virgin when ML isn’t? Classic slut shaming by yaoi readers, only towards the bottom. It’s always like that with you all.
