Reading the novel rn. Others made it kinda sound the dramatic but lol the novel is so damn cute like they’re not bad guys. They’re just trying their best to bring out the best in each other and they will be better at communicating, guys be patient. These are two people who doesn’t know how to be in a real relationship and have completely different style of communication. The ML is such a tsundere and is cold to everyone but acts like a child with the MC which will pointed out multiple times in the novel ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ and he’s actually a bit of a softie when it comes to MC, he listens only to him. He gets angry cuz MC gets mean but gets coaxed really easily and softens up. He can never get angry for long with MC lol. Nothing is more important to him than the MC like absolutely the MC. Despite his scandal rumors with people similar looking to MC, nothinggg happened. He didn’t and couldn’t do anything to them, it’s actually not just the face he likes about MC lol. He is soooo innocent like hardcore virgin lmao he doesn’t even know what blowjob is ( ̄∇ ̄")
And their past flings are all IN THE PAST. They won’t be relevant in the story and they won’t cause any trouble or create angst, love triangle or third party etc NONE OF THAT. But once again only MC has past experience, ML is completely an ignorant virgin lmao. They will be completely focused on and devoted to each other and it will stay like that from the moment they reunited. Y’all don’t need to worry. MC finds it really hard to commit before because he’s just tbh like scared and always expects people to leave him so he’s someone who’d leave everything behind and escape. The ML will work hard to get his wife (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ and he will lol because he is straightforward, the perfect match for a scaredy cat mc when it comes to love.
Also additional spoiler the temu version of the mc, which is the actor friend of ML. Cha guy or something, is just a friend and he is actually AN ALPHA with a lover. His lover is always with them when he hangs out with the ML but the paparazzi makes it look like it’s just the actor and ML lol but that is their goal because they’re pretending like they’re dating as a cover or something. But they just hangout so he gives ML relationship advice and an ear to listen to, they’re just bros. He is the only person ML can open up about the MC like his gossip buddy lmao. He was talking about the MC on the phone while talking to the actor, that’s why his expression was full of self loathing. MC hated the person that made ML make that kind of expression on the phone and soon he will realize it was actually him xD
