My girl Mugi is so independent. She gives him space when he asks for it and doesn't whine when he doesn't give her attention. She doesn't probe into his problems and force him to talk to her about it and is always giving in to him. And he gets away with it because what? He's stoic and have a handsome face? He's just a damn mean kuudere who forgot about the dere.
Yeah she does like him more than he liking her, although the mangaka is probably just aiming for the angle of "he likes her a lot but don't know how to show it" cos he's shit at communicating and pretends to not know what she wants from him and makes her sad then surprise her at the end.
Mugi doesn't really have a lot of hobbies or am actual job to strive for, but who does at her age?? Her thinking is simple. She wants to hang out with her boyfriend because they don't see each other often. And if they work at the same place, they can meet. And she learns new skills at her workplace too. She's at that age where you try different jobs to gain experience and money. Who cares if she's not thinking about her long term job industry or college degree right now???
When she leaves him alone because she wants to study, he gets mopey and wants to meet her. But when Kurose asks her to give him some space, he doesn't understand that she wants to meet him too????
Kurose we all know you like the chase and the feeling of her liking you. You only step up when she ignores you or when your best friend confessed to her LOL
IF THIS WASNT A SHOJOU MANGA YOU TWO WOULD BREAK UP SO FAST
Look, she introduced her boyfriend straight away and didn't flirt with Jaehyuk. The only fault she has is that she has loose lips and might accidentally repeat everything she heard from Jaehyuk.
It was Jaehyuk who told her Garam was ugly and he wanted to break up with him after awhile. We the readers knew that he was already in love with Garam then and was just talking nonsense, but his friend doesn't. Of course she would be concerned that Jaehyuk is still playing around and will break Garam's heart.
Honestly she was way more concerned about Garem getting hurt than Jaehyuk.
