Had an idea cuz in an earlier episode it hints at it for sure
It was hinted multiple time actually, little details or words that could go up to the beaten up theory. So I'm absolutly not surprised by it on the contrary.
Same for the MC, he doesn't just has insecurity, he has trauma and extreme social anxiety, little by little we can see his evolution (looks, clothes, expressions) but obviously some behavior are coming back and it's whole point 'cause he is not healed yet.
ML helped a lot, and the progress is already amazing in such a short time. He's lack of communication is part of is anxiety, and it's his first relationship so he is still learning, I trust them so they will fix everything
It was pretty obvious I mean the way he's so anxious is so realistic actually, there were alot of hints just from the way he reacts
Does anyone else feel like the child abuse came out of nowhere?? Im just really shocked. We knew he had anxiety and ambivalence towards gymnastics but i figured he'd have like "disappointing parents/coach, severe perfectionism" or "coach/parents training to the point of exhaustion" trauma. Not super violent beatings.
Also people can be insecure in relationships but still communicate with their partners about it. Please start letting yaoi have characters that actually talk to each together. The ml really seems like he is a good communicator
