no i think itll happen but the genre for this definitely isnt romance, at least not now. personally its actually quite refreshing to be reading a story where the romance is soooo on the backburner. but regardless i do think theyll have something going on by the end, cause i think its pretty obvious they both like eachother, or at least did at some point

holding hands and hugging is not even that romantic tho you can do that with a friend but its clear they like each other not because they want to do those things but because they want to help each other and deeply care. a friend is not going to overthink their relationship but sm who wants more will
I admit, I came here for some kind of romance. The story is great, but like, am I wrong to expect an eventual romantic relationship between the main characters? This was tagged with shounen ai after all
