MC always thought he doesn't have any chance with ML and ML will have a girlfriend soon or later, considering how popular he is. So MC jumped to the worst scenario, thinking they would date eventually. And the part "good friends", a girl can touch a guy to firt or as her "fellow sister" because she doesn't see him as a man.
Excuse you. I am an Asian as well. But not every Asian country share the same culture or social rules. Like in Japan, you don't kiss someone you're not dating. Bcs if someone kisses you before they ask you out everyone knows they are never gonna ask you out. Just like different countries have different culture. Here, her touching his hair the way she is is way too intimate for those high schoolers. A FRIEND doesn't touch you share in such a "way". They yank you. So, no he is not wrong to feel bad bcs he thought his crush had a thing going on with the girl. And never once he blamed the girl. He just wallowed in his own misery. Which he is ALLOWED.
bro you are so dumb they were literally just touching the hair??? It’s not like bro saw them kiss
