I wont bash you, just want to disagree with you (cuz i ship utou x sumi). As you can see loving is pretty much different from getting along. I could probably (probably not) get along with you because we both read boy's love but that doesnt mean i would come to love you. Its still up to the character on who will they choose (jk its up to the author XD). Utou defends sumi (he doesnt want sumi to be that other omega's replacement), he's handsome for a beta, responsible too, idk if he's rich or not but Shiratori would obviously be richer. Now what Utou has that Shiratori dont is that he loves sumi and sumi loves him too. Also we should consider Shiratori's feelings too. I dont remember him saying he likes Sumi. Remember that part where he ask in his mind 'do you really want to be a pair' something like that, that gave me the thought of him only wanting to help sumi. Overall, its still up to the author on whom she'd want to be together. I'd probably be happy with the author's decision so long as Utou gets his happiness (real happiness not the kind of forced happiness).
I understand what you're saying. And the author is probably going to put Utou and Sasabe back together. I, personally, felt that there could be a relationship between them. Of course love is important as well. But when considering how Sasabe fell in love with Utou, it's through the kindness he showed him is it not? Because Utou was kind to him, and treated him in a way that others haven't treated him before he fell in love with Utou.
Of course I'm biased toward Shiratori (because I love him) but I felt that Sasabe and Shiratori could come to love each other, perhaps through the mere exposure effect.
And if that doesn't happen, which is most likely, I simply feel bad for Shiratori. He's never said outright that he loves Sasabe but I have a feeling that he does. So when he's used as a rebound to strengthen Utou and Sasabe's relationship, I hope he finds a suitable partner as well.
*Also! Thank you for your opinion (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I know I'm going to get backlash by saying this but honestly? Sasabe should stay with Shiratori. I know that doing that would throw all the plot before into the trash, I know that the people on the cover are Utou and Sasabe, I know that it just doesn't make sense!! But Shiratori is an omega-respecting, handsome, responsible, rich alpha. I'm sure that with time Sasabe and Shiratori would get along (they share similar values).
The only reason that I am unsatisfied with this end is because the author didn't solidify Sasabe and Shiratori's relationship!!
But I am okay with Sasabe dating Utou as well, however that will work out.
