Honestly I love both of them! The ML in flowers are bait is very questionable in his motives but he does have a loving side with the FL. Here, the ML teases her a lot too so it makes it ambiguous with the FL in trying to understand their relationship.
In reality, both ML are under the control of someone else (the older brother for flowers are bait and the mother in this one), so that also adds to their attitude towards the FL.
ML in flowers are bait doesn't really have a secret motive don't worry but he only acts that way cause he lose his memories but the time he remembers anyway the ML here doesn't deserve the hate he is a really nice guy without any ulterior motive but he truly likes the FL
Ohhh yeahhh, I read the novel, just didn’t want to spoil for anyone reading it! Honestly I love the whole change in the ML in flowers are bait and his backstory, as well as how he feels for the FL throughout the story as an amnesiac and when he regains his memories. The arc when he remembers…the angst was good but definitely was something. But honestly I love both ML, this one here definitely doesn’t deserve any hate. He’s very sweet with her.
Flowers are bait everyone was praising the psycho ML feeling bad about him meanwhile here the ML was being hated when he is not even bad dude is actually a nice guy with a manipulative mother
