Cho please save our MC from this two-faced, indecisive, oblivious af dumbass.
Not a villain, but still extremely dishonest with himself. To the point of affecting and hurting others. When I say “two-faced” I’m mainly referring to the way he seems upset or annoyed when Gisela calls him/ etc but still grins and acts all happy when they meet up. Even if he’s doing it subconsciously, its just a really wild way to lie to yourself. Starting to wonder if he’s being forced to date her. Probably a money/status thing.
yes, he never seemed 'in love' even when he first told the MC about it. It's always felt kind of like an arranged marriage. And I think he thought it wasn't a big deal and he would still have his bestie beside him always.. but again, I don't think he's a bad guy at all, just accepting what he thought his life was, without question.
I really do hate characters like the bar owner when they pop up in BLs. “Heehee you’re THAT guy, right? Well I know something about the other character, but I won’t tell you because you should figure it out yourself silly straight boy.” Annoying af
It's actually pretty fun though because as a bar tender your peoples confidants and you naturally become close with your customers especially if your close, they kind of become family members. But like a therapist you can egg people on to try and discuss emotions and feelings with other but can't directly disclose info they haven't said themselves yet to that person.
If it doesn’t end here, then the story needs like a 10 year time skip at the very least. If only to keep the character motivations/ interactions from going in a continuous circle. We’ve had an angsty back and forth for a while now, gotta switch it up. As they are now, I just don’t see how either of them can grow as characters. They can try to reunite again after some growth, healing, and THERAPY has happened.
Oh there is NOTHING going on up in that head. Bro is full looney tunes. Gonna be long road for our MC!
