Ya he kissed her in novel
Uhm, no he rejected her?? He said that he needed time to grow as a person and that he needed to learn to respect his and other’s emotions more. He doesn’t kiss her for another 5 years broski.
Oh so does that mean him and Tess are endgame... kinda sad abt that
"For one second, I shut off my conscience and managed a light peck on her lips. I suppressed the inner voice that screamed in disapproval and backed away from Tess, my face burning, truly feeling like a twelve-year-old boy in this moment"
In chapter romantic idiot chapter 61
And i think it will happen in next chapter in manga
was this how it went in the novel my memories fuzzy but i don't remember a straight up rejection lol
