you guys seem to think we, the ones annoyed by mc, don’t understand why he lied just bc we don’t like that he lied for his partner. he doesn’t have to come out, we aren’t asking him to. the point is that he lied for someone else without considering their feelings. ml is understanding and supportive but mc didn’t know he would be when he decided to lie. homophobia existing is not an excuse for that. we know about homophobia lol im gay. and nobody said him lying made him a bad person either like, this isn’t hard to get. it’s especially annoying for me bc im so sick of homophobia being a problem in fictional stories, ive experienced enough of it in real life i dont wanna hear about it anymore. and if you’re not some kinda gay i dont wanna hear shit from you.

it’s not necessarily about their friends being supportive or not. if they tell one of their other close friends, and that friend tells another one of their close friends etc etc, then it’s out. once it’s out there’s nothing you can do about it. so it’s fine if you lie about your own sexuality, even to your friends. if they’re true friends they’ll be understanding even if they feel hurt once they find out.

if my partner did that to me i would be so passive aggressive the rest of the night and then dump them right after and give them the number to a nearby therapist.

That is an excuse and a valid reason, he's in the closet and he's afraid of the backlash for the ML might face not himself but ML since he thinks these dudes might spread rumors about him (though they're good friends so far but obv there's still some trust issues there) and or it might ruin his career and him depressed, MC has already faced alot of backlash and with how Korea is bad with it's parasocial, mc could be harassed too. Don't forget they're both celebrities. but they're going to fuck after this chapter anyways.
he’s so fucking gross
