I love rereading this story, but sometimes I wish they were flipped

I enjoy coming back every few months to reread this story. I do hope that the neighbor’s nephew’s friend’s mother finds a partner of her own—she is really sweet. I also have a feeling that both boys will end up as a couple. I do wonder who the ML’s father was, and it sucks that his mother passed away so young. At least the MC had a loving and caring family, which I found heartwarming.

Interestingly, all the women in this story are either divorced, single, or portrayed in a negative light (e.g., the women he had casual relationships with). His cousin was attractive, but what an ass.

Finally, while rereading, I realized I kind of wished the ML was the uke and the MC was the seme. I enjoyed seeing the ML’s vulnerability and the way the MC took care of him—whether through cuddles, patting him on the head, or soothing his jealousy. Even though it was clear from the beginning who would be more dominant and who more submissive, it would have been interesting to see them switch roles, even for a chapter, knowing the ML is only vulnerable with the MC.

Regardless, I loved watching his nephew and partner bicker over his affection.
