I know this could be some sorta miscommunication. I know ML wanted to protect her from some harm by acting cold. I know i know. Also i gotta admit his longing in early chapters got me a bit....
But sheesh the toxic possessiveness in the latest chapter? Huge yikes. I don't know how they would redeem that 'misunderstanding'. He wanted to act cold to protect her then why would he act reckless by dragging her home? Make it make sense?? "Oh yeah hey you see how i always look for her and drag her home? Oh no i don't care for her at all!!!"
