I'm still waiting for more chapters translated but MC once picked up a phone call from ML dad and he was cursing at him (thinking he's the ML). He calmed down a bit after knowing it's just MC. He was surprised MC n ML are friends then asked "Did he do anything weird to you?", MC replied "Weird? Wdym sir?" N the dad was silent for awhile then said Nvm.
You can also know that his family know when ML crashed out n broke down screaming crying like trauma responses whenever it's either to his family or to MC (cz his feelings for MC is him being gay)
The sister also warned MC not to be near ML as he's abnormal (aka gay) and was the one who opened the door for MC after ML hurt him after the dinner, she told MC to never come back
ML sister also looks down to MC btw (cz she thinks MC is also just a troublemaker n only get into fights), she ain't that found of MC, welp so are other members of ML family. The dad was just pleased to have a decent person w academic background "changing/helping" his son. The mom was cold until she looked at her husband, not seeing him angry just makes she soften up a bit. Overall, ML family don't think highly of him and have already abandoned him
I'm on Chapter 68 in the novel rn, and man, ML is crazy. Not entirely his fault but he's just as pathetic as the other guy.
ML is the middle son of his house, his house is very successful and rich, AND very religious (not in being delulu in religion but very much like strict n "gotta be pure and perfect" type of way). His family knows he's gay, that's why they treat him like an outsider, even his baby sister doesn't see ML as a human, only a failed product leaching onto her family.
ML used to get in alot of fights before going to school w MC, he also didn't do well in school so it just adds on into reasons why his family can't accept him at all.
ML is also very insecure whenever he's with his family or even be seen by his baby sister (he would literally break down and cry), there's no love, no attention no nothing in his home. He wouldn't even dare to eat when his family is home.
Later you will know why ML refuses to admit his love for MC, he yearns for him but the relationship between him n his family mess him up, he was hella scared and even holding his head screaming like trauma response when MC found out abt ML having tons of pictures of MC in his phone. (ML stalked MC since forever)
Since the feelings r now mutual and MC knows ML is similar to him when it comes to having shame/guilt for being gay. MC told ML that he will help him deceive his family and want to help him being seen by his family in a better light.
It helps at the start as ML dad likes MC (only cz he's a useful son to his family w academic background) but later ML can't handle it since being more close n close to his family is too traumatic to him so he crashes out and start hurting MC. Which scares MC alot so he just runs away and can't shake off his fears for ML.
And there's a tag about ML regretting so this is probably when MC gonna start distancing himself from ML
