as a gay man i can def understand that having a crush on your male friend who most likely is str8 (as it is in almost all cases irl) IT'S THE WORST feeling ever so i get wanting to distance yourself unlike some comment that said "Fuck the trope of "i like u so i will be distant and cold now""
i do not justify not defending mc or the random kiss tho











this should've ended with chapter 9 with him leaving his cheating ass forever!
NEVER FORGIVE CHEATING
