*SPOILER*yup, it's gonna be like that. Typical. Cliche... Nathaeila
This particular plot device is cliche, but the way it's carried out here isn't too typical. The MC isn't really phased by it (she is already vaguely aware of his feelings), it's not indicated that she's ever had feelings for him, and she totally friend zones him.
i lowkey want the mc to have another dude coming into her life,,like umm,,her childhood first love (if she has one) or smth..to make the guy jealous
