eh, MC has a soft spot for childhood friend who always cries to MC. However, this friend was crying on purpose because he knew MC would do whatever he wanted if he cried. He lies to MC about being stalked so he can get closer to MC and also make it so girls won't confess their feelings for MC. It was low-key bad.

Steady Love

Complete | Daeji | 2000 released

MC gets dumped, so bsf is like yo why dont we just date, and MC's like bro? ur fr? and bsf is like haha jk and leaves. It's awkward and they avoid each other -ish. The beginning is low-key confusing because it keeps switching from present to past tense, and from different POV's, so idk. plus so much more happens, so it's just whack. Seme/bsf doesn't really communicate, yet gets jealous when MC hangs out with other people. Apparently seme like'd mc since they were kids, and mc has liked bsf at least since high school, but maybe before that. The story itself is cute. I kinda liked the idea of the second love interest. Like if I didn't already know mc and bsf were gonna be endgame, I would've rooted for the second love. I wish there was another story with the same plot, but for the second love lmaooo.

MC likes childhood friend, Souta. MC always has to find Souta for other people, and one day finds him talking to a girl in the nurses office. After Souta leaves, MC and this girl get a bit closer, and this girl is like just confess to Souta, and he's like wym I dont like him blah blah blah. Turns out a different girl was asking Souta for advice to confess to MC, and both friends were jealous of these other girls because both MC and Souta are in loveeeee. Kinda boring considering they dont even kiss, and Souta shows like no emotions.

MC gets heart rashes all over his body when he's in love, so he takes a suppressant which also dulls his emotions, so it's hard for him to know the feeling of love. While hanging out with his childhood friend, he falls asleep and dreams about his breakup, and ends up kissing his friend in his sleep. When he wakes up, he sees his friend is covered in the same hearts, and it turns out the friend has been in love with MC since childhood. Apparently MC also liked the dude, but forgot and then couldn't tell bc of the meds.
