They were both drunk, and with how noeul was drinking even before the mc i would say he was more out of it. MC was being lovey dovey with noeul even before everything happened because he knew that noeul liked him and that fueled his ego, he never regarded noeul's feeling one, not one how absolutely insane that he even had the nerve to call himself a friend. MC refuses to pursue a romantic relationship with noeul (which is completely valid) but then interferes in his affairs, that should already tell you that mc is just a prideful piece of shit just as luna said
There's a difference between being affectionate as friend and doing it as a partner. It's clear he's just a touchy feely guy and wasn't doing it to provoke noeul's affections. Your "they were both drunk" point is moot because in noeul's POV chapter he literally says he planned to have sex with him. that's rape. he intentionally got him drunk to fuck him. weirdo
also, he interfered because his best friend was literally IGNORING him ? he rapes him then doesnt speak to him for days ? that's messed up. if my bestie of 17 yrs did that to me i would also want to know what the fuck is up
I happened to brush past the planning part because i was trying to speed read but after going back i do realize that it was wrong on his part and mine aswell for mispeaking. Im sorry if i seemed like i was trying to justify rape i really just didnt see that part. T-T
good ending
it's okay ! :)
everyone dogging on this guy but its obvious he's straight. why does anyone expect him to be super lovey dovey ? he even admitted to turning down/not answering noeul's advances because he valued their friendship more. also, noeul basically raped our MC guys. or did we just skip over that.
