In the past the MC worked for the old debt collection company because he was indebted to the guy who owned it. That company borrowed money from panthers company and were consistently late on their payments. MC went over there to request an extension for the deadline and slept with panther. That’s the current scene and the first scene we see in the manga.
The MC doesn’t know that was panther—he thinks it’s some old geezer because his eyes were covered but panther knows it’s him.
I thought that was too obvious. When you started reading the story you saw a similar scene, right? In fact MC and ML go way back, if I remember correctly they were in that baseball club together, that’s likely when ML started liking him, after that they separated, ML in that time climbed up to a very high position, then this scene from the flashback happened, after some time ML likely figured out that MC and the guy he fucked are the same people and started pretending to be an old guy’s lover to be around MC.
I don’t think he pretended to be the old guys lover to be around the MC. I think he other the old guy to make the deal where the MC “trains” the ML but if he was really interested in being around the MC in the beginning then he could’ve loaned him the money. I think he just urged the geezer because he recognized he had the opportunity
I'm totally lost truly. I can't connect the dots, I feel like it's a mess in complete disorder. I like the story and the characters but I don't understand the plot. Even more these past few chapters. It is not clear at all
