Don't know if I want to keep reading but, damn, I want to see them break up!
It would be one thing if Chip was just always pressuring Lauren for sex but he's not. He openly talks about communicating more and Lauren just brushes him off. I don't care if he is closeted or not, you don't do that to someone you supposedly care about. He's definitely not ace but he doesn't care about Chip.
Also, way to be a jackass and wait until the poor guy MOVES IN to tell him you only want something platonic. I don't like cheaters but I WANT Chip to cheat on him. Lauren's terrible.
This was the best surprise! Thank you upload-san!
