i think he gave him his own cigarette that was already lit (ig in the breakroom) and tried to light a new one for himself with the cig kiss
I was thinking the same thing and honestly I hate when authors just gloss over and do a complete 180 on a character's main personality traits just because they want to cash in on a side couple spin off
Like that's all great and good but it's kind off hard rooting for this guy who used to treat his childhood best friend like a dog who would follow his every command
totally agree. i was in luck since i read the main story long time ago so i forgot a lot lol. but i haaatee when theres no redemption arc (AT LEAST!) like so unsatisfying
ehhhh they kinda just forgot the bad parts of watarus character and made him just “cool and suave” turned caring and mature. but what about the fact that he was overconfident, noncommittal, and a playboy within the same school year?? people don’t change that fast. and how the hell did wataru light the cigarette for him if he left the lighter in the break room???? maybe im just not one for convenient mishaps but we could’ve found a different way to incorporate the cigarette kiss… or maybe i’m just expecting a lot out of a 1 volume short n sweet. was nice otherwise but i definitely liked the other couple more, i got out the other book not liking wataru and got out this book… feeling like this is a different wataru
