Honestly in the first place the mc does kind of have social anxiety, I think a lot of people forgotten that. He’s naturally anxious and he saw the ML kiss his ex who was a woman, naturally he won’t relate that the ML is gay ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ I think it’s not about being dense at all, just doubt and fear that he might be wrong about how the ML feels. Cut the Mc some slack, he’s inexperienced and he wanted it to be just a crush in the first place.
