Ayeon @ the guy he literally raped: "It's my first time"
The thing is that I don't want to like Ayeon. He doesn't deserve to be liked. He did nothing to make up for what he did in Never Understand (aside from destroy the camera and then apologise). And yet he was so lovely in this story that I can't help but like him and separate him from the Ayeon in the main series. Just me having this moral dilemma?

I don’t know if it’s just because I haven’t finished yet (on chapter 60/85) but people seem to be fine overlooking the fact that all the couples so far have started with one of them being a bully and the other being the bullied. Yuri hated Jaerim for being ugly, the red-hair guy was super nasty to Yumin for being an otaku, Kang and Dunno’s relationship is just a mess, and the one in reading at the moment about Aerak and Heeno is so sad! Maybe it hits harder as someone who grew up being bullied for their weight and appearance, but stuff like this shouldn’t be completely ignored imo.
Don’t get me wrong, I really am enjoying the story and the character development but relationships built on poor foundations are kinda doomed irl. Lucky it’s just a story, but I do hope none of you talking about how pure this is let people in your lives treat you like this.

I don't comment on manga often but something about this one just squeezed my heart and refused to let it go. It had something that made it feel so real. I think it was seeing them grow together and not just remain awkward and uncomfortable the whole manga. Like they genuinely acted like best friends and lovers?! That doesn't happen often!! I just can't put into words what I loved about this manga but it is officially one of my favourites <3

I saw a comment earlier about how the MC could just change his schedule like a "normal person" and I just wanted to point out why I don't think that's possible.
He shows a lot of traits that would indicate he has autism spectrum disorder. He sticks to very strict schedules and gets overwhelmed by sensory input. He does things based on moral judgement and not on what will make others happy. He also appears to have issues with socialising due to a lack of understanding of basic social norms. These are all autistic traits. As an autistic person myself I can tell you changing up our routine is one of the hardest things for us to do. It causes us severe distress. Some of these things that he has to change aren't even just schedule changes, but changes that can cause sensory overload (such as sitting in a different seat because of the AC, or drinking a different drink if they have taste oversions). I'm going to assume not many of you have had an autistic meltdown from sensory overload before, but they are not nice.
I don't think any harm was meant by the comment but I think that it's good to remember that not everyone is "normal", and while this character isnt officially labled as autistic I can tell you he would definitely be on the spectrum irl.

not that I'm an expert or anything, but i have to agree, even the way it was described in the beginning, you can tell that MC is different from others, I like his character for sure, and I feel bad for him, cause redhead MC is being the biggest child ever. He is worse than kids who bully the one they like and you would think that a 25 or how ever year old would have enough brains to just work and save up money and get the remaining last credits and be on his way. Especially since he is completely at fault. There are better ways to draw the attention of someone you like other than annoying them to death.
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it yet but there is actually an “after story” chapter exclusive to the book version of this. I haven’t read it because I don’t know where to purchase the book (their shop is currently closed) but your “sequel” is out there! And the preview looks like it could be a happier ending!
