makes sense, she always like MC but MC either didn’t like her back because he knew fox eyes did or because of his own reasons. He leaves and decided to go no contact for the sake of Fox eyes and to not let them foster dependency. They take it badly and enact a whole revenge scheme because they missed him and were mad and hoped he changed. He didn’t, he still loved them and they had to accept him leaving finally. She wanted to confirm her feelings and “confess” properly, he turned her down properly. She still stole a kiss as payback and told fox eyes “I’m sorry I still love him” fox eyes took it in stride and said “I’ll wait for you to get over him, I won’t leave too”
