I think MC is more so he ended up not following the path his family wanted so he is trying with everything in him to prove that he’s still a good son and he can get somewhere with his choice. I think it’s funny how ML thinks of him as the complete opposite though, like he just has it easy when to us it’s clear MC does not. Definitely repressed. And yeah it connects with the being a dutiful and diligent son because him liking men would of course be a huge problem image wise for his family. And I think he’s only coming out because he’s experiencing stuff now
You’re totally right. And it would be interesting (and fun) if MC if he embraces experimenting with it just completely rocks ML’s world, which we’ve gotten some hints at being possible from ML’s crazy eyed reactions to smaller stuff.
That would be so cute! (Have a feeling it’s not gonna happen that way honestly tho （￣へ￣)…. ) I think it’s gonna be one of those things where something happens Mc calls it quits and ml is left to chasing him later… but I like seeing a good beg lol
Two semi-connected thoughts:
- I like the non-romance plot we’re building here about the MC’s rigid, born from necessity responsibility.
- I think there’s something interesting being set up potentially about the MC being outwardly repressed and internally a bit of a freak (I keep remembering that scene with his computer) while the ML is this breezy slut but clearly has something going on internally and has like imprinted on the MC.
