maybe if he didnt have his own partner already. He was aware of all the coincidences and suspected what was going on. Its obvious he fought any closeness with her. I think he only would have allowed his feelings to grow if he was single.
I think that how fate really happens, you don't know, that it's happening.
I wish they had explored this topic in the manga. I wish hara's string was not cut and we could see whether the string of fate would actually make them fall in love or would hara's commitment to the uke(forgot his name) overcome fate?
But i'm still so confused? Would hara have grown feelings for the woman if the string was not cut??/
