I just remembered a bl bara pornhwa, what was the title of that one where the MC is like a boxing champion (or some kind of an athlete) and he has to pay debts or something but he doesn't have money so he sold his body. It's not Legs That Won't Work. I think it's purely smut with little to no plot. But yeah, the MC is a bear.

That feeling actually sucks tbh. I was once in Alec's shoes before, but unlike him I'm an introvert. So I tried befriending a classmate who's more introverted than me just because we share the same favourite anime. We hang out, I share stories and then I realized I was the only one making an effort. When I talk to him, I was the only one sharing my experience he'll kinda like just listen and nod. Like bro, I want to converse.
So I gradually distanced myself from him. I just came to my own conclusion that he really don't want to have any friends because when we graduate, he's still alone.
