Lauren was the worst character. He literally put zero affort in the relationship. Chip tried his best to understand, wait for him again and again but Chip truly did him dirty. Leaving him feeling unloved and alone in a relationship. It wasn't just physical but mostly emotional. He did a lot of things he knew would hurt Chip SO MANY times. But Chip tried to be understanding. He really tried his best.
It was so romantic. The paparazzi photos, bragging about his lover to everyone, the teasing of 'Goddess of Lucky', the love you ritual, learning to apologize, worried about his partner when they aren't together, My Fortuna. And that last line about missing him.
Melts my heart.
Hope there are more side stories.
Shin, you won't be safe in the country man. These people seem like the people who are expert at finding rats. Best thing would be to stay with Jake since he knows how to deal with them.
