60- rn the ml thinks they should distance themselves cause there's a rumor being spread about him pushing someone down the stairs. They're a couple now, and i'm sure the mc is going to talk to him/ convince him otherwise soon.
UGH I love the couple. Bro, everything about this story (until chapter 60) was so satisfying to read. The ml had pushed the mc's brother down the stairs (later you find out they made a small deal for it for one to get pain- his brother was a bit suicidal- and the other to escape a little-the ml and his overbearing mother...the ml never actually pushed him though, the brother let himself fall down). The mc was originally mad and went to find the guy who pushed his brother down, gave him a punch to the gut, and that's how they met. Later, the ml starts working at the same store the mc is working at and they get to know each other better. I loved how every small detail was communicated, and once the misunderstanding was cleared, they clicked together really well. It was suuuper cute, they started as friends and you got to see the moments where they liked each other but didn't realize it, to when they did realize their feelings, to them "practicing" to kiss once and not long after, them both confessing. The side characters (the mc's older brother, the caretaker of the mc-rich family-, the mc's friends, and the brother's soon to be friend/lover? are all interesting and have something to add to the story. The brother and the mc went through a fight at one point, they both lost their parents in a car crash as kids and had trauma/ emotions they never talked about with the other. In the end, they both talk about it and were able to be closer by opening up with one another. Plus I love the sibling dynamic, it's cuter when you have a younger sibling yourself. The story goes over grief and the importance of communication, and has (almost 100% sure) two couples. The main couple and the brother and the orange haired dude who he's getting closer to.
