I mean technically he never said he was poor, he just never corrected her assumptions.
Naaaah, homeboy was explicitly wearing old shabby shoes to gain sympathy from MC, that is pretending, maybe even lying
he did say he was poor if I’m not wrong, or at least said something about him being it.
bruh even in this recent chapter he pretended like he didnt have money to buy a nice meal
so no one else finds it weird that the rich ML is pretending to be poor to befriend her? oh aight
