Tbf yes ml was clear on his stance about no relationships during the first season but he did also end up saying to mc how he was HIS "special person" without even telling him that to him, that's what he called close friends or people that understood him. Mc did try to distance himself from ml knowing that they'd just clash especially with his feelings for him, but ml still tried to be with him and stuff before even realizing he had feelings for mc. The mc avoided, distanced, and even put his mind out to ml but the ml was still being narcissistic and shit towards him (and he didn't even realize he had feelings for mc yet) which is why I genuinely get why people are shitting on ml. Other than that I absolutely agree with you
This dynamic is like dime a dozen in yaoi, but it's usually the bottom being indecisive and not the top and yet people are so sympathetic towards the bottom, lol but people are being ruthless af towards Yungeun. It's not like the dude didn't make his stance clear about the relationship in the first place. He never once strung the MC around by saying he will date him.
Anyway, this is why I hate when MCs are so casual about sex and start with sex in the relationship. Things become complicated for no reason and because they see sex so casually, it's hard for them to pinpoint what they want in a relationship, it's annoying. I also would love to see Kyuho top, ngl. It's so boring how 90% of the time it's twinks bottoming and hunks topping. Gay relationships are gay for a reason and don't need to follow any heteronormative standards. C'mon, break the tropes a little please.
