After rereading

After rereading this it's as frustrating as I remembered it to be. Tho how I feel about it is a lot more light-hearted than how I used to . Reading the comments I realized a lot of people were blaming HS and I completely understand it because this shit show was created because of his lies and miscommunication, and honestly that is true but a lot of people also said that this could have easily been solved if he wasn't such a coward and confessed, tho they themselves said at the end that MC and uke wouldn't have met or the MC wouldn't have taken the gig if not for HS lying that uke was his crush. Anyways what I wanted to say was HS could have solved it but it wasn't the only way to solve all the miscommunication because the other way to solve this was MC simply coming clean and admitting that he is interested in the uke to begin with because let's be honest here it was an asshole move to date your best friend's crush behind his back even though you knew his exes's left him cuz of you (even if it wasn't a real crush). And how would HS have guessed that the MC would lead the uke on (accidentally because of his guilt) when he simply could have just told HS out right in the beginning that "hey I want to try pursuing this person". The MC not wanting to tell HS because he didn't want to hurt him was a dumb excuse because if you didn't want to hurt him with the first place why would you secretly FUCK HIS CRUSH???? Honestly nobody in the story is good tbh except for the uke. HS was at least coming from a good place though in a dumb way, MC however was just objectively a horrible friend so idek why y'all would hate HS when the MC himself could've been the person to stop this mess and honestly yes HS did lie a lot but most of his problems with the uke were caused by himself and his guilt, when all of that could have not happened had he just been honest (and not be a FUCKASS friend). I remembered getting hate for pointing this out back when I first read this but I honestly don't care cuz it's my opinion and nobody else has to agree with it, I'm just venting at this point.
With friends like the MC who needs enemies (AND he had AUDACITY to say "we're not selfish" at the end of the story) ╮(￣▽￣)╭
