You got a partner who's a flight risk when they feel like they're being smothered, but is ...

Agree omg, Minato turned up his worst traits here, he was a little easier to manage before, at least he used to apologize quickly when he was being overly annoying or stay silent.
Shizuma is not helping he even likes to be glared at now.

Yes Minato is very needy but try imagine you have a partner, you can’t see them often because of their work and when they have space for you in their planning they’re always with someone even before going to a date with you ? + the director is clearly messing with them, asking Shizuma on some kind of date (without saying it’s one)

And that someone is ALWAYS the same person

Bruh maybe is just me but that someone is THE BOSS, Shizuma already showed he is faithful and dedicated, which is my main problem, if they were a couple that just got together then ok, I get it, but they already talked about this A BUNCH OF TIMES, Minato even helped him study and he said they were going to share less time together due to their jobs, and he said he was going to support him, because Shizuma is a newbie still not a vet, ofc he is going to be up and down with the other, female vets. Obviously he wasn't ready for the real thing but is still exhausting to read that he is mad over the same thing over and over again.

Yes but helping someone is something , Minato was there for Shimuza for studying and fulfilling his dream BUT the problem is about the director and Shizuma, not Shizuma himself. I don’t know if you have seen the next chapters but the director clearly try to make Shizuma and Minato break up and that just not pass the vibe, à director should not tell that ? I mean it’s supposed to be work only no ? The boss and Shizuma don’t have a special relationship ? They’re not friends to me, Shizuma wants to know him better on but that’s all ? So why does he bring Shizuma on a « date like » the day when Shizuma’s told him that he wants to have a date with his boyfriend ? And then telling him to break up ? That’s sooooo complicated ugh but I got what you mean

**i get

I Get the situation of having a superior , lets day, ambiguously interested in you is super complicated, specially since Shizuma isn't a vet, you can't say no to the extra work and be at risk of telling them because they can use the " you read the room wrong I wasn't hitting on you loser" Shizuma also tends to trust people way to easily, he is an easy target. I haven't read the chapters past the last one that was uploades but lets see how things go, I mean, the director isn't mean to be "bad" per se I mean they even forgave Yuka, Shizuma's unfaithful ex so., she is going to stop or say it wasn't her intention at the end.

Also I want to add, Shizuma is weirdly dumbed down on the latest chapters because he used to be way smarter and less passive, he was always kind of weak with the ladies but he alwasy spoke his mind and call people out when they were jerks, at least I expected him to be more concious of what is happening but his at lost and I don't even get why.

Right??? I think that this is the thing that annoyed me the most, it’s like he forgot a trait of his personality

Yeah idk, because he’s clearly jealous and I have the feeling that they want to mess up a bit with the boys
