in the end of the chapter, it explains that he cut the budget since he knew there was a cheaper and more durable material than the one they planned to use. He's actually not a total ass right now

actually the president was right, they reached their time limit is a kind of cruel move but his logiit is flawless, amami jst when there and start talking about fellings and hard work, he lose the moment he didnt state the reality specially when the president just expain him that, what is true is that he investigated the project becuase what amami did, and saw a weakness so he use that to kill two birds with one stone, now i just want that the ecretary finally explain his vertion beacuese im 100% sure he is responsable for this problem between then

He could have went about it differently, like, I don't know, a professional? Get the rover team together in a meeting and discuss how things can be changed, if they don't come to a conclusion THEN cut the budget. Don't just cut the budget out right without an explanation or discussion. The seme did that on purpose so the uke can blame himself and come crawling to him! So childish! (╬￣皿￣)

While the president was right to cut the budget, He could have went about it differently in a less childish way. Get the rover team together in a meeting and discuss how things can be changed, if they don't come to a conclusion THEN cut the budget. Don't just cut the budget out right without an explanation or discussion. The seme did that on purpose so the uke can blame himself and come crawling to him! The seme is mixing work issues with personal problems. So unprofessional! Also yes, that secretary has A LOT of explaining to do.

In the real world though, that’s how most projects work. The financer only needs to let the team leader know. The members don’t have the luxury of an explanation. It’s the leader’s responsibility to relay the message to the members, and if the project has potential, the leader will be the one making an appeal for extension of the funding. Research/company projects work this way.. as harsh as it sounds.

Back to the story, I’m not siding the seme or uke here. It just turned out that the uke thought that it was because of him at first and went directly to the president. This scenario shows that the uke tends to assume things without investigating or knowing the facts, which is consistent with his past behavior. Assumed the worst about the past conversation, and I’m not even sure if he stayed long enough to hear the whole conversation in the first place. He was also not confrontational in the past, which changed due to this experience when he punched the president in Chap1 and charged into the president’s office in Chap2; hence, he wasn’t able to get the facts first-hand.

We get to know the uke’s character based on the past and present scenarios, and since most are in the uke’s perspective for now. I think we are going to get the seme’s perspective in the future to get the complete picture.

(I think I came up with this whole analysis due to Onodera and Takano.. And I’m like “You ain’t fooling me with this type of story again..)

Did he even let the team leader know? LOL It doesn't seem like anyone on the team even knew about the cut til the last minute. The Uke's sempai didn't seem to know either.

This scenario was written for optimal misunderstandings. Not for realism. Especially since "magically" the president provides the team with a cheaper material after the fact. Like, if the president were gonna do that why not just call in the team leader and give them that information up front?

I was giving an example that it can be harsh in real life as well, but that’s besides the point. Somebody in that company was meant to relay that to them but failed to do so, and there wasn’t any need for the mangaka to draw that person anyway. Most of the time, the president makes the decision and someone was bound to communicate that decision to them, which was made possible in this story.

I agree that this story is going with the typical misunderstanding trope. What I meant to address were the comments on the unprofessionalism and the childishness of the president which I disagree with. I think he’s just a typical company presidential character who is hot and sexy, and who also happened to have a past with the uke to add some spice. Stories are usually based on real life experiences anyway to make them relatable to readers that’s why we have these office setting, childhood friend setting, and many others, but with added twists to make it more interesting.

I’m going tangent with this comment. Sorry. I’m still waiting for the rest of the chapters before making a comment since I’m very curious about what really happened in the past. What I can say so far is it’s refreshing to see an uke who can stand up for himself.

I can't really comment for other people, but personally, I was kind of expecting the possibility of the rape scene just as you did. However, there was a part of me that was thinking that maybe the author would withhold any intimacy between the main characters until such time that Seungho has shirked off a considerable amount of his malice and has grown to genuinely care for Na-Kyum. But alas, it happened while he was still a dick, and I had to live through the rape scene like everyone else.

I signed myself up for reading this story for its plot, beautiful art, and the time period it is set. So despite the drama of their first intimate encounter, I will see it to the end. Quietly.

just remember, cousins can marry
each other in japan.

They’re not cousins though
