That's still cowardly though but yeah I get it :/
humans. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I didn't say it wasn't. It was totally cowardly. But like you said, humans. Humans can't stand loneliness and the fear of rejection.
This is what I thought, too. I think Mi-kun has had it really tough in Tokyo and he and Kei-chan didn't get the chances to realize how important they still are to each other.
I didn't really get mad at Mii-kun tbh. Yeah they were dating, but like you said, it was kind of name only. I like to think there was just kind of a mutual understanding that when they could be together physically, they would be totally dedicated to each other. It just doesn't seem feasible for someone to carry on pining after a high school sweetheart, who wouldn't move to be with you for 6 years, without meeting some people that you'd quite like to have sex with. Plus he was only 18 at the time. For a teenager realising that he's gay, living in a house on his own and with the gay scene in Tokyo close by, it just seems more realistic that he WOULD have had sex with other people. I like the reality of that. I also liked how understanding Kei was about it too, to just kind of put it in the past without a bunch of drama surrounding it. It's obvious to everyone who knows them that Mii-kun is totally in love with Kei, and to be apart for 6 years with NO intimacy from anyone seems really sad!
At first, I was angry at Mi-kun for cheating on Kei. But with the 3rd chapter, I understood more. Kei wasn't really in love with Mi-kun. He just agreed to date because he couldn't say no. Of course in Tokyo, Mi-kun would feel lonely and insecure. To him, they were only dating in name. He knew Kei didn't like him in that sense.
