The uke literally pulled a wang shuo and dropped off the face of the earth for 6 years not giving anything to the seme, I'd understand if this was set in older times where modes of comms was limited or if he did try but someone else intercepted, but nope just flat out went away and came back coz he realized the simp from years ago was actually his best bet, too bad unlike chi cheng the guy wasn't able to find someone else more deserving of his love and is still stuck on the fcker.
And to those normalizing his motive for leaving coz of "trauma", being treated shitty doesn't give you clearance to act shitty to others in return. Does the seme know that he experienced those? no, he never talked about it, so him leaving would make seme think by default that it was his fault, and that crap takes a toll on someone's mental and overall wellbeing for years, so don't come back crying saying don't be angry yada-yada, like what were you expecting? a parade? lol
Even this development was so unsatisfying coz they didn't talk shit about what happened, the uke just cried and being the simp that the seme is, of course he gave in. If they do officially get back together but don't go through couple therapy like the leads on driver's high, this is really just going to be another one of those cliche and frustrating works with the uke getting away with anything coz y not.
