I'm a little confused too, but I think it's because Asahi's defective. He can't have a baby with a woman because he's "defective". So Asahi was contemplating if he was with Masato just because it was more convenient for him. So Asahi is struggling with his own insecurity and feeling guilty about not telling Masato.
yeah...thats how it is....and also asahi's mom left his dad and said that no one can live with a defective man like him(asahi's dad).....and then when asahi and masato was talking about woods which were eaten by bug masato said that some ppl dont like defective things....those made asahi feel insecured....
and those burn thing is actually referring to Asahi's insecurities,pains etc.....like how it is paining Asahi and masato want to what those r....
masato wants to heal those*
Idk if I’ve been misreading stuff for the past 4 chapters or what but I’m kinda lost. Can someone explain the conflict to me? I’m not really sure what the conflict between Masato and Asahi is, and I don’t know what people mean when they say “slow burn” and stuff. Can someone help clear this up?
