I reread the first chapter of the manga and I was suprised to see that our boy actually already confessed to her. I completely forgot he did that in the very first chapter. And she (unintentionally) rejected him :facepalm:
So the only reason they are not yet together is because Miyuki can't bring herself to clearly say she likes him too.
For all the bashing the mc gets for lacking confidence and not being able to understand that she loves him... it really isn't his fault. He already went all out. The ball is, and has been in her court the whole manga. Miyuki do something for the love of god 😭 !!

None of this is Sorata's fault.
From the start, he's tried to be clear that he loves Miyuki and that he wants to their engagement to follow through, but everyone around him belittles him and calls him delusional - and Miyuki herself is the primary problem.
She refuses to wear her engagement ring, after all. And the entire reason is because: it won't fit on her finger and she doesn't want to be accused of gaining weight (never mind it was made by Sorata when they were children and she literally grew up since then).

So she wears it on a necklace instead. But refuses to show it to anyone, much less Sorata, so all their peers think Sorata's delusional, and Miyuki does nothing to disabuse them of this notion.
Yes, she's revealed to have a hard time expressing herself, for all her life--and she has the excuse of "the dialect disconnect", though that was more a fiction planted in Sorata's head by the Brother who wants the engagement to fail.
And now Miyuki has spent the whole story refusing to say what she feels out loud, while getting jealous when Sorata talks to any other girl or woman--when Sorata remains steadfast the entire way through.
And the only reason he's wavering now, is because of the thousand little moments where he's felt like Miyuki doesn't actually love him (and she's almost never affirmed it, mind), and now the Brother has asked that Sorata convince Miyuki to come back to Kyoto, after Sorata has heard her gush and reminisce about her home and hype it up over Tokyo constantly.

If this weren't a mushy romcom that's meant to have a happy ending, I'd honestly expect them to split up, and it would be all Miyuki's fault that it happened. Because Sorata's suffered through multiple years of bullying and harrassment--including from "friends" like Merry--because Miyuki can't be honest for one moment.
Sorata thinking "maybe she doesn't love me after all" and calling things off would be logical to me.
