Every BL veteran saw that "twist" coming from several thousands of miles away, LOL. Even though the plot revolves around a very overused and basic BL concept, I felt like it was handled really well. The MC didn't know that the ML was his crush's brother, so it felt much less iffy. The ML decided to peacefully back off once he realized how much he wronged the MC instead of being unendingly obsessive to get back together, which was genuinely refreshing. I think the author handled the concept well enough for it to not feel icky.
