So he's an oni(a type of youkai), but hasn't realized it? Sure would explain why the cat stays away from him.
If I were him, I'd just record the convo and bring it to the police rather than try to fix things on my own. Affecting my probation would mean less than dragging my lover into something dangerous. Tatsuya has no backer to deal with these goons.
I've just started reading this. But it kinda reminded me of the whole Guide and Sentinel theme you find in chinese novels.
Bro, getting together with your boss when you aren't even attracted to him is more of a hassle than trying to find another guy. Like, imagine how troublesome it'd be to dump him when it may also affect your job. I'd never accept that sort of invitation as soon as he did. Especially if my boss put his hands on me while I was dead drunk like the MC was.
My bro really thought he could fool everyone with just a wig and light make up.
Tbh the most irrational part of this story was them not giving a fuck about the will and doing the DNA test anyway. But well, DNA tests are expensive and the musician guy seems like the kind of person who'd feel sorry for the little girl's messy life and take care of her anyway because she'd probably end up in the system if neither of them were her father(which is a possibility like the mother said). He really is a big softie.
The seme just has a lot of traumas because of his childhood. Honestly, in this chapter, he acted like someone with anxiety. I mean, I suffer from it and I get caught up in my head in the exact same way. You can't stop being pessimistic and overthinking all the time. And obviously you hide those negative thoughts, except for when you're near your limit, like he did with his father.
