YOU'RE ACTUALLY SMART, WHAT-
I fully expected his friends were the ones to put the clothes there because they were calling him thief in the first glimpses we got. I think the friends were jealous that he got along with mc. I'm so curious about the ex too! But I don't think it's trauma he has necessarily, because honestly, MC wasn't as shaken up by the drunk sex when he told his friend about it. It felt more like "oops had sex while drunk" even though we know it was technically SA. Idk I'm here to find out eventually haha
you're SO REAL for this!!!!
So I have a theory. We've already been shown that ML thinks MC smells good and we have already seen him leaning over and sniffing MC. So my theory is MC's friends are actually the ones who took his uniform and put it in ML's locker. MC stated they were just waiting for a reason to bully him and knowing MC was close to him they can make it seem like ML stole something if MC's to break the relationship and have a reason to bully. Now ML was probably like whose uniform is in my locker and noticed it smelled like MC and they just happened to walk in as he brought it closer to smell ( proto confirm but also starting to fall for MC). Now I don't know about his current actions but characters are both assholes. (Doesn't excuse either actions) But it makes the characters interesting. I also feel that MC has got some sexual trauma from his ex and ML isn't helping. But just a theory.
