That's a lot of mind reading from ML part if I understand what you mean, I just think MC should stop crying for once and actually talk his mind to ML who have always been clear with MC (no dating, only sex, thinking it would hurt MC he tell him they should stop, MC cry because he want to continue so they continue to hook up), now ML realised he fell in love he try to talk to MC for god knows how long, almost harassing him to talk and then MC break up with him, there's really nothing else to say, well no, maybe MC should talk and answer the question "why?" which he did with some nonsense and lies but I don't know how it's ML's fault ? Don't get me wrong I'm not really protecting ML or what because they're both en eyesore for different reasons but still in this particular scenario I don't undestand how a lot of people are blaming ML ?
Bro this dude is only smart for the most irrelevant things istg!!!! How can you not associate in your head that he would be extremely upset bc of that dating rumor that got out??? He thinks you don’t like him back and is anxious that you would be embarrassed to be seen with him in a romantic way in public. If you know it hurts him to break up and that this whole thing is weird bc he likes you you are not even gonna try to reveal ur feelings or sth? Grow some balls bestie
