I read the raws and used google translate and man it was so sad how his confidence went completely down the drain after what he heard the seme say he starts thinking so negatively about himself and it’s just… like wow you can tell he really valued the way the seme of all people viewed him, because he alone ended up affecting his self esteem
And the uke is so precious because even throughout all that he’s just thinking about the seme and distancing himself because “someone pretty like Aoi looks better by his side”
“Kana is only nice to be because we’re childhood friends, that’s right, he’s just nice…”
“Someone not cute like me shouldn’t be near you”
Then the seme pulls the “others might not think you’re cute but what matters is that I do”
Like it’s just even if he’s objectively “not cute” that doesn’t mean you can’t call him cute when others ask?? Like even if someone isn’t by societies standards “cute” but YOU personally think they are, why would you not defend their looks? Even I was thinking throughout reading it, how cute the uke was, how could you even say such things
