Yeah the same friend who manipulated his slow witted friend into allowing him to meet up with his old ass highschool crush. Who also lashed out at him when mc had no idea what was going on. They don’t owe him anything especially when he wasn’t being transparent in the way he went about the situation. Having a crush on someone doesn’t mean you have some right over a person. The ML wasn’t mean he was just blunt and why should he sugar coat or explain himself to someone he literally has no connection to that also seems to have some weird hang up over him. He rejected you in highschool get over it. You’re a grown man.
Exactly.
what's the point to go after someone behaving like that anyways, do you think he would have said anything kind to mc at that point. And ML didn't say anything out of pocket.
Imagine a person you have zero interest in and clearly rejected years ago being mad about you finally having feelings for your "friend " after crashing their date.
They don’t owe him anything
The friend stilllll has hopes and is butthurt about the couple’s relationship and it not being him SOOO deep into the story, he’s two faced, I don’t feel bad for him at all and nothing ml says is particularly harsh or negative, he just sensed his intentions and made it crystal clear it’s not happening, the friend has zero reason to be hurt in any shape or form if he was an actual friend to mc when he KNOWS mc is with ml and STILL tried it with ml
1) when it comes to things like rejection and boundaries, it is VERY important to be straightforward and curt because otherwise you give that person a false sense of hope and expectation. They will always think about the what-if. That is especially true of that friend. He's the type to keep expecting and being delusional even after getting a straightforward rejection. Coddling people usually backfires.
2) MC has absolutely no reason to go after him. He didn't do anything wrong and it would only make things worse. What's he gonna say when he catches? "I dont know why you're upset and crying but I'm here for you."
That's going to sound patronising coming from one of the people you are resentful/jealous of. Not to mention the friend NEVER had MC's best interests in mind. That was revealed a while ago. If MC went after him, he may have even come up with some lie to further manipulate him.
My point is, it wasn't rude. It was deserved amd he was multiple chances and many YEARS to get over him. And knowing what's coming up in the next chapters, this friend doesn't give up regardless. Only reason I'm explaining all this to you is because I fear you may be a young child and it's just a little advice from someone a lot older.
Babes, No is No.
If you can’t get it the first time someone says it nicely or obviously then you gotta cut people off where it hurts.
Second, the “friend” is two faced and will continue to harass ginger hair MC in the future and try to make sht up and ruin their relationship. He hasn’t learned anything nor he is a nice person. He deserves that
I was thinking the same. Regardless of what happens, it's better to go check up on his friend. And have conversation. If he still being a jerk after, then cut ties with him.
Let's not forget that mc is also kind of using orange head. Sure, he's falling for him now without realizing but it doesn't change the fact that it started for his own amusement.
bet you don’t care cos you act just like him
Exactly
Whatever. That's still his only friend and they've known each other longer.he should've gone after his friend. If his friend acts like an asshole, then he leaves the friend and go back to ML . That's how friendship is. Even if he didn't know b4 , at least he later knew. Put urself in the friends shoes
I’m in the friends shoes. I’m nearly 30 I’ve caused a scene and manipulated a friend over a crush that rejected me 10 years ago. I feel so betrayed my friend who again I manipulated and has no idea what’s going on didn’t chase after me and console me. I’m so narcissistic that I had to self insert myself into a potential romantic couple of my gullible friend who’s really nice and considerate and always wanted love and this dude who rejected me 10 years ago because he’s mine obviously. My friend is dumb he’d never get these complex feelings why have an actual conversation with him.
Unless he was an actual friend. Then he wouldn’t feel betrayed or abandoned. He’d feel embarrassed. How embarrassing of you to giggle and smile in your friends face and concoct this situation just to be rejected again in public. Infront of the dumb friend you obviously don’t respect. He said he wanted to leave. He can leave alone and pull his shit together then explain the weird shit he just pulled.
That's how you become a doormat. There's no conversation with someone who just yelled and slapped your hand away like that. Why would he be the one chasing when he did nothing wrong?
I don't like how ML spoke to the friend. There is always a way to put things without hurting other peoples feelings. And Mc should've at least went after his friend, cos u know it's his friend. Idc idc, I don't give a fuck about the main couple anymore, someone pls remind me about this manhwa when the side couple shows up. Dislike if yall want idc
