I hate hate hate hate hate hate when mcs come to the conclusion that lying to the LI is the best course of action and immediately forget or try to do some action or conversation that clearly crosses the line THEY SET. I find it more cruel than just ghosting them cuz it gives such false hope like stick to ur guns and walk out or minimize closeness

I can just see teach taking the kid in and not giving anymore lessons to guwon which leads to after a few days a desperate guwon who is bawling and begging teach to not ignore him anymore cuz he can't handle it. Also sucks seems like the town is using gowon as punisher but also are scared of him and isolate him so that sucks

I get shizume but what koh said is true luckily kiumi can really roll with the punches and is secure in himself and has trust in shizume to be okay without him not saying out loud his feelings. I aspire to be this strong mentally and he was the best character I feel in this his whole personality felt really refreshing and didn't come off annoying
Im queen and I still am annoyed by MC decision but thats just how I feel about queer relationships irl and fiction I get it y mc and ppl feel this way but honestly I've been there and it hurts so much to be the dl partner. Cuz then u get situations where u lie and spin it into something it isn't if I was ML I would be hurt and then he forces some story that im dating some girl my feelings would be hurt and stressful trying to keep up YOUR lie. I think thats my biggest gripe it'd be 1 think to keep it hidden but to fabricate a story is another he already said he's gay he could have just said he's seeing a guy and that's it
no yeah as having been the dl partner before it def sucks even if u think that ur okay being the dl partner or u keep telling urself that it's okay with u even tho deep down u aren't. but I totally get why mc is acting that way, it sucks for ml having to lie to the ppl he's close to (even tho his friends would prob be okay w it considering how they reacted when he came out to them) but still this is mc's first relationship and being gay in Korea has a lot more social consequences that people unfortunately have to consider, especially considering how they are both public figures as star athletes. all I'm hoping for in the story is that mc is able to heal from his own internalized homophobia and get comfortable and feel safe enough in his relationship w ml that he is able to be proud and open about his relationship w ml
