Makes a lot of sense ! And Mc took it on Pado and they drifted away.
I don't blame Pado for being cold now ...
Yeah, MC should really be going about this completely differently. Like how he was more concerned about Pado potentially having a partner instead of resolving the whole reason Pado “hates” him, like get your fucking priorities straight. Imagine how you look to Pado: you have this big falling out where someone you were super close to wouldn’t even hear your side and you don’t speak for years and suddenly they show up one day and won’t stay out of your damn business without even addressing the elephant in the room? So frustrating, I’d be acting just like Pado lol
Rumor must have been the common gay outing cliche or potentially doping since he was formerly in swim (unknown whether club or competitive.) I’m leaning more towards the gay thing because they both know of Pados past feelings so it’s possible they kissed and someone saw it but when it spread MC assumed Pado told.
