I think they have to or at least should to because if the rumor gets out. It may ruin their college life because you know how conservative Korea is when it comes to LGBT issue and because it may ruin the seme career as a soccer player. He only begins his career and if the rumor gets out, they may never pick him because of the discrimination against him dating a guy. Just a thought and I totally agree with you about not needing to explain to her if only she's just a stranger that have no affect on their future.
Agreed, especially since LGBT stuff is super taboo for sports still. They're being really level headed about this and are thinking about the culture of where they are and how they have to deal with this stuff. I'm ridiculously happy that they decided to carefully think about what to do instead of freaking out super bad first. Usually this would have had a whole elongated plot of them being apart and hurting before getting to this stage, so I'm happy we don't have to sit through that.
Agreed, and yeah Im glad that they skipped that whole elongated plot that mangakas usually put into the story. They skipped it and got right to the stage where they thought about things. even though I've complained/vented about that they shouldnt care about that girl, Im still glad they wrote it in there anyway lol there are many places that arent accepting the LGBT
They dont need to explain anything to that girl. Like she wasnt even that close of a friend to either of them! They dont need to pay her any kind of attention or reason. yes they were friends and then turned into lovers, Girl bye
