You, my good person, have common sense. Seunghyun does not. Therein lies the difference.
No need to lie. You can just say : no thanks.
It’s actually weird that his friend group are so happy to see him. Obviously they werent close if he just left and never talked to them.
Imagine a group of strangers invite you to eat with them : no thanks im busy.
lol Define lie? They are sorta on a date.
But I understand what you mean. Is it a cultural thing or just a thing these writers do for drama? Protags in these never can just say no.
You are the one who said you would lie and say you are on a date. And it’s not considerate a date because they are going there as friends.
Also the worst in these kinds of stuff is when uke and seme are a couple. And then the seme’s friends invites him to a goukon and he doesnt know how to refuse them because he can’t tell them he has boyfriend already. As if that was your only way to say no.....
Would not have done it. Would have lied about being on a date, grabbed the ML's hand and ran away.
Never follow an ex it always brings trouble!!
