SPOILERS the ml never does, it's only the mc
I was actually waiting for this moment, like the ML had a name but was keeping his pain and a secret due to external forces and his own internalize homophobia… but well, that’s disappointing if he never does
i know right! i was expecting the same as you, but then i read the novel a bit and got disappointed so i ended up never finishing it. the angst is good though as spoiled by many others here so hopefully we'll get to feast on that at least.
I hope when the ML get the MC's name, he too should suffer the same pain and the MC will refused seeing him as well.
