REALLLY?!?! IM SAD AND HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME. I REALLY DONT KNOWW. I SHIP HER WITH THE BOTH OF THDM:))).
bro what it's literally clear in the manga he always loved her. they're teens and as with every teen drama shit they're confused about their feelings, especially when it's first love and are hesitant and scared. i swear some of yall have never been teenagers. stop trying to make "sense" out of everything. It's emotions, not logic. "Territorial dominance"?? 'scuse me?? XD kid is in love with her since they were very little, they grew up together. Holding onto such feelings for such long time is not easy for someone especially when you have a such a close bond with the person u love, anyone would be scared they'd ruin their friendship if they showed they're in love.
and please someone update this jeez（￣へ￣）
this is the case of when you have it, you don't want it. but now that someone wants it now you suddenly want it.
in this case however, he was satisfied with the status quo. he was satisfied with just being a childhood friend. But what i don't get is harboring affections for someone for 12 years but seeks comfort from other women... make it makes sense.( PSA: this is not slut shaming. you can do whatever you want. whatever floats your boat)
but all im saying is what the blonde dude is feeling might not really be "LOVE" but more like territorial dominance (yes, i made that word up lo; hope you get what i meant.) from the 2nd ml.
he did not display any intentions towards the fl until the 2nd ml arrived so yeah im rooting for the 2nd ML
ps: soilers
bitch spoilers go away
if someone bitch at me for spoiling im throwing hands
she did end up with the childhood friend (based from spoilers)
which kinda suxxxxx
