I think we read it differently because mc looked happy to see his face in the morning but he looked awkward so she took it as he regretted having sex or didn't want a relationship so she concluded it a one night stand
if u had read it properly, it woulda been obvious to understand that naturally mitsuki would say what she said since she didnt want to get her hopes up. dont tell me just by sharing her activities nd plans with the ml it already counts as manipulation. If anything it's crystal clear that the guy is the one manipulating mitsuki. so disgusting how ppl always pin the blame on women when it's clearly the fault of the patriarchy
her actions also manipulated him into the relationship in the beginning. She treated it as a one night stand to get him to ask her out. She said says she wants to try working oversees to make him propose or in the very least ask her to stay. But I still don't like him for the years of how he's currently treating her. Is he so selfish that he's doing everything to make her want him more by denying her everything until he cant take it either, cause thats why it feels like. It's like the whole relationship is them both just testing each other in a weird selfish manipulation of feelings.
