Ahh internalized homophobia. I've been there at some point in my life when I was still discovering that I like girls more than boys. Pretty bitchy to have tbh. Hating yourself for who you are.
Ono and Jun, but more specifically Ono because he’s most definitely a closeted gay. I say this because oh both Ono’s high investment in ryouhei’s love life. And because of his closing comments in ch 9, where provided the reasoning himself for why gays don’t come out. Likely because he himself understands the feeling of being a gay that has to hide his sexuality.
Okay to those who are saying MC should come out to his best friend doesn't work that way.
Bitch that is literally his best friend. he is afraid that Ryuuhei would change his point of view of MC if he did confess which is fucking scary if you did that to the person you care the most. Hell I have close friends who I haven't come out yet because I'm afraid that it might ruin our relationship or that they would behave awkwardly with me.
He may not be the type of perfect good MCs but damn is he one of the realest and flawed ones out there and I love him for it.
Being closeted is like being in an invisible prison. The fear of people finding out your sexuality and judging you, hurting you, disowning you (by your family) or even being forced to go to a gay conversion therapy is what keeps us from coming out. So being forced to come out just like what Ono did to him terrified me.
please if you have a friend who is part of the lgbtq community and hasn't come out yet please keep it a secret and let the person come out themselves.






he's basically obsessed at this point. Also thank you so much for the translation.
