Everything was good but author decided midjourney to spice things up with cheating, not consensual actions and misunderstandings. Also, everyone got selective amnesia for some things. Like, fingering someone is still sex, kissing (and having sex with) another person while being in a relationship with another is cheating, etc. MC actually cheated first when his friend kissed him, without consent, but he still reciprocated in some degree and let's not forget the car sex, also without consent. That was rape. But got soooo upset with his boyfriend and friend because he already liked the friend but thought he got cheated again, like a hypocrite. Well, at least he recognized he was being indecisive and tried to fix his own mess.
And, the ML being an ex-yakuza who is working as pub/hotel manager or something... using women as escorts and slaping them... like, I get why he slapped the girl. He did it so he could fool the client into thinking he is disciplining her, and later the ML beat up the client for doing shady things with her and the business.. and apologized to the girl... but still, he's using women like any other pimp would do. But he changed his life at the end and open up a restaurant, because he got ashamed of himself when MC saw him in a fight and almost got himself injured.
I feel that this could have been a great story but the author mixed a lot of plots and left others behind just to create drama and that's good if it's well executed. Even tho, I like the designs of the main couple and the actual representation of dating a much younger person than you, who you have nothing in common with, and is a narcissist and troublemaker.
