Both Kitagawa and Tomita were worried that their partners are "free" since they weren't officially dating. We could see how Tomita had fallen in love with Saito but didn't know how Saito felt. He kept refusing the sex because if he surrendered then the hurt would kill him, especially if Saito wasn't in love with him! Saito on the other hand wanted to see whether Tomita had any feelings for him by trying to make him jealous, that was why he created the "misunderstanding" that he could flirt around with Natsume, killing two birds with one stone, since it also propelled Kitagawa to force Natsume into properly dating him. For the "cheating" part, it would be explained in chapter 3 (a note from the scanlation group). ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
coolio, thanks cuz I was also pretty confused
Forgot to add that even though they had consensual "petting", both Tomita and Saito didn't show their feelings, they both fell in love (Saito first, then Tomita after the "trying out"), but didn't know how the other felt. Since the "real sex" meant they had to be honest (if it felt good then they both were in love, but if it didn't then they were both busted), Tomita was scared to do it, while Saito wanted to push through to find out if his feeling is reciprocated. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Oh my thanks sm for explaining this. I had a hard time contemplating whats going on in our characters mind and its bugging me
Second story was really cute! I loved how affectionate they are! However, the drama in the latest chapter was weird, to say the least. I couldn't really grasp what was the problem between them 4, and what misunderstanding they were talking about. Felt like good chunks of drama building were missing. Still, loved them (▰˘◡˘▰)
