Seme lives right across his childhood best friend turned rival uke (black hair). They both moved to a village as kids and seme was getting bullied because of his foreigner features. Uke moved in to live with his grandma, he saves seme from bullies stoicly though. Then they fish and find out they love across from eachother. They both enjoy sewing and sew to impress one another. Vowing to be rivals one day. Then uke is suddenly seen crying cos he has to move away. Seme kisses uke to comfort him shocking uke, takes uke to an abandoned building where they sleep for the night. But then uke is missing. Uke asked to stay with his grandma and now he's staying lol.
Rivalry started after they turned 20 and gave eachother suit. Seme realised he liked uke.
Seme has marriage interview and tells uke hoping uke will stop him but he doesn't. But then uke followed him to meeting place lol. And is like "I git lost" (Girl rejected marriage offer). Seme keeps asking uke why he came but uke doesn't explain anything.
Eventually seme confesses and uke is like "I thought I could handle you being with a woman but I imagined me standing next to you" then they have sex. The end.
My opinion
Overall it was good but it could be better. The uke was too stoic and indifferent to make a good rivalry story and it just dragged too long. Would have been better if they confessed right after uke got caught at the meeting place. It dragged at the same time explained nothing would have been better getting more of ukes pov since he's so stoic.
