I can say that after this chapter we get a look into Kawai's reasoning on their relationship and its nice that he realises his mistakes and is trying to make up for it but he really needs to try harder and take time to let Ohara get use to the new development in their relationship and they both need to communicate with each other more. Though I still sympathise with Ohara he was partially abandoned for those times that they could be together and he never knew what Kawai was thinking all along. And yes, Ohara could have confessed. Except that Kawai left Ohara without an opportunity to do so. And you could turn that around and say that Kawai never confessed either too.

I dont like the second story thireesoms are not to my liking at all and I felt that the friends should be together instead of it being the short/femme guy and them. The first story was ok but the seme is a bit of a jerk though a sort of oblivious almost sweet one but still a jerk. He is super possessive, selfish and almost only sex driven.

Rereading this again and you would think I would be prepared to not cry, but I burst into tears at this

and definitely at this

parts.

This really seems like it could get depressing and sad. It seems like we are in for an emotional ride.
Contains spoilers to those who have not read the first chapter:
They both actually loved each other but the dark-haired guy messed things up by sleeping with a girl then the light haired main guy saw them in the act. So it came as a shock to him (main guy) to finally find out 4 years later his friends true feelings at the time.

Yay finally a little progress towards a happy yaoi ending for these two. But I have to say that the guy the main guy likes Ken? is a bit of a jerk. He comes off as very self centered. His relationships prove this:
*The father
*fathers lover
*girlfriend
*and even towards the main guy

That's true. lol
Ken seems to have a inferiority complex to his brother, thinking Kirara likes him better than Ken. Also he probably doesn't want to accept the fact that he likes a guy like his father.
Probably he went out with girls to prove that he's not homo and to forget about Kirara?
Blaming Kirara for being so beautiful and carefree is kind of cute though! He just can't help but be worried and attracted to Kirara! (and, his brother's always the one who gets the credits! poor boy)
But he still is a jerk.
I think I liked the prequel better, this one seems like painful miscommunication meets baka love. The feels so not good for my heart.
