It’s been a while since I read something well written like this. I actually like how their relationship is developing and how Jin is not really easily swayed. I like Baek is quite complex. While he likes Jin, he knows he does not want anything casual with him. He tried guarding himself and rejecting him but he is now truly fallen for him.

Incan kinda understand why koutaka did not reach out. They were kids who are not yet emotionally mature so it must have been hard to break the ice after their fight. And they both waited for each other to do so. Usually that’s how even the best relationships break down during our teenage years. When we were young we grew up thinking that “we could always see them again next time” without actually considering the fact that after high school, most of us go separate ways with our friends to pursue other things.
I think it is as simple as that: they were immature children who barely understood relationships let alone gay relationships. It is quite easy as outsiders, and adults even, to comment and say “they should have talked it out” or “koutaka should have tried to apologize” but I think most of us in that position might do something similar to the characters.
Also, kinda laughed so hard when he said he wanted to “celebrate this” and I thought “oh are they having sex?” But the next panel shows decorating the room for a party. Lmao

At first half of chapter 31 I was like “Oh he finally begs his forgiveness for being shitty.”
Then the second half happen. Before this, I was 70% dochan 30% supporting him. Now I want to kill that red haired bastard. He doesn’t deserve anything. The way the SA was framed was quite grotesque too gosh I am pissed
I expected more from this author actually. The SA took me out of this series. It could have been better wiithout it tbh.
