Unfaithful Love, A Thing of the Past
mc and ml cross paths again after many years pass. it turns out they both have feelings for each other. mc has a job as a salaryman but it has absolutely zero bearing on the story. ml wanted to be a police officer to get validation from mc but i honestly also don't think it has any bearing on the story. ml's dad was accused of being in an affair but my terrible reading comprehension couldn't figure out if that was a smear campaign or if he actually did cheat, and how that has any bearing on the story?? none of it was really used to push any actual story forward, it's ultimately just two dudes finding out they both had feelings for each other in a very unhealthy manner. having a crush on a much younger kid in fiction doesn't sway me anymore, at least he knew it was inappropriate and distanced himself from it, good for him. the ml is a hot mess tho, he projected all of his issues onto the mc and took his feelings out on him.
