"We use gay for everything now" bisexual erasure is super common in manga and manhwa, there's always talk about "but you're straight" if the guy happens to like women. Been reading BL for years and I remember like 10 where bisexuality was ever mentioned.
That being said, I still loved this. From the guy who said "ew, gays are gross, wish they'd write it on their foreheads so I know to keep distance" to "I'm gayer than you are" and not just "yeah, I love women but you're an exception." He didn't mind his friend finding out he's dating another man (didn't even try to deny it!), he's thinking about Garam meeting his family, he's thinking of making money by himself so they can still be together...this manhwa is offering WAY more than other BL these days and it's the one I expected the least!

    Tbh, I see it, garam saying he would go for girls once they broke up, as in he wouldn't date other men at all.
    While the ML has the benefit of... he was a dumb straight just some many chapters ago, more queer knowledge learning in progress. It's quite the leapt already to have become so smitten over a man. I wouldn't call him gay er if he doesn't let garam top once tho , if he so insists on out gaying him, give garam's ass a break lmao
