I think he just means conventionally unattractive. He's so used to being surrounded by the rich who put their all in looking conventionally attractive that he doesnt quite understand his interest in someone conventionally unattractive lmao. But he literally finds him cute so I think really he just a bit in denial about finding him cute?
I dont even remember the name of it but this reminds me of the mangak where they were in high school and the popular guy started to like the unpopular guy with weird hair.
Haha I've reread it like at at least 3-4 times. It's titled Never Understand
an ugly man? nah wrap it up, wrap it up! there’s only so much I can tolerate of this insult towards such an angelic man. if you truly think someone is ugly, you can only look past it for so long. it will eventually come back to bite this relationship in the ass. good thing it's just fiction.
