Chapters 3-4 A reread

HOT AND FUNNY SND SWEET OMG THE ML (BOTTOM) IS SO HOTTTT

This is really fluffy and sweet. ML read MC down during their first encounter because he's an honest guy, and MC tried to avoid him only to keep running into him and eventually become his housemate. Sweet, realistic, and a little bit sensual, this story is about continuing one's self and accepting who you are on a deeper level, without the "mask" you put on. MC could finally be himself around ML, unlike his previous relationships. And MC's friend was a delight to see!

4/5 ONLY, and not a 5/5 only because I disliked the side story of the two men on the train (chapter 4) where consent was dubious and groping was shown. The first story was sweet and fluffy (chapters 1-3), and the third story (chapter 5) where the guy fell for his president after being saved from his exploitative job was a fun read!

Set in a post apocalyptic world, our MC (top) has a major crush on a new recruit, ML (bottoms) who has impressive abilities. When they are assigned on a mission together, MC must fight to keep himself in check, but when a tense situation comes up, actions are made that can't be taken back. Spoilers* + Trigger Warning: Date Drug Rape? Rape by aphrodisiac. Deceptive ML (bottom) - he essentially drugs MC into topping him with the intentions of starting a relationship with him. It's also revealed that he's one of the highest execs in this post apocalyptic world setting, but he lies about his identity to be with MC. He appears angelic but he is actually quite the schemer.
