Shipping war aside...
I just don't understand why would Veronica's ear be bleeding, hadn't she had her ears pierced since she was a child? Her ear wouldn't bleed just from taking off her earring. Perhaps she took it off forcefully in the heat of the moment, causing the injury? hm a bit farfetched, but I guess acceptable for the sake of the plot...
And man, my heart is wrenched for Zeze, he was the one who wanted nothing to do with these past memories, just to live his life peacefully, and he ended being the one carrying the worst guilt out all of them, having now to know that he was responsible for the death of all his (now)friends... and they may, if not despise him for it, at least distance themselves from him.
Now on the shipping war...
You can ship whoever you like, that's the fun of shipping. But I honestly believe that if you are really hoping for the story to turn MinamixHiroki, you're setting yourself for disappointment.
I myself will be very disappointed if it somewhat turn MinamixHiroki, not because I dislike the pairing or Hiroki herself, but because it doesn't make sense in the narrative.
Minami is all about living the present, letting go of the past, that he is Minami, not Veronica. He liked Takao before she remembered about Rida, she liked him back before too, and Veronica didn't have romantic feelings for Glen, so a pairing switch just because of the Glen factor isn't likely.
I get that narratively speaking Hiroki is a more interesting character, with all the Glen drama, and Takao really need to tone down her Rida side, but give her time. She's still adjusting and is insecure (she's 15 for god's sake, give her a break), so is understandable that she's falling back on Rida when she's unsure about herself and where she should stand amidst all of this.
Btw, anyone has any idea of how much time passed since chapter 1? With all the chapters and publication time it sure feels like a long time, but maybe it was like 2 months at best?
