The translations are a bit off sometimes but I think I understand it.
ML being shaken up is kinda understandable because he's a character that feels deeply despite how he looks (he was described with "passionate" eyes in ch 1). So he's still gonna think about the memories he cherished
Despite that, I don't think he'll ever take his shitty ex back. Instead, I think him sharing was more of a flirtation tactic, to get the MC to be more pro-active in being in a relationship with him
I interpret "if I'm shaken, catch me" as saying "I want you to pursue me like i'm pursuing you"

Kinda weird seeing people deny the racism and fetishization of this. This shit has been popular in Asian comics for yeeaaaars, especially the beast x white angel troupe in Korean manwhas. The only way you don't know this is if you started reading this shit like yesterday
Denying it or "not caring" because its smut doesn't make you cool or some unbothered queen I still check these out to see if the plot is good despite the fetish, but it doesn't make me sensitive if i recognize that and for others to be bothered by it.
It's calling a spade a spade

Yeah, unfortunately the room temp in these comic website comment sections is always one spark away from a overblown argument over some cartoon characters on a page. No one wants to use media literacy in their escapism and criticism of their smut comic is basically an attack on their personality. I've been on the end of it several times.
If they were just gonna kill him off why even make him gay bro like now my hopes are crushed
Like it's a good story but that killed it for me I'm sad
Gay people can die bro
And I can still be disappointed
And you don't see gay people as people
Wow, how did you get to that fine, insightful, and totally not wrong conclusion
It's the fact you aren't treating gay people as gay people. If he wasn't gay you would have accepted (with sadness) of his sacrifice. To you a gay character is something just to add representation NOT to actually be in a story.
Yes to the the sacrifice part, no to everything else. You're reading too much into it. I said it cause it's disappointing that he died since there was so much build up to him having happiness in the end. I wanted him to have happiness.
I said it more like, why get my hopes up that he'd be happy, and him him being gay or not wouldn't have changed the story much anyway.
My one critique of this ONE story isn't how I see ALL gay people and gay people in media I'm just disappointed in his death, simply that
