I’m pretty sure he did try to do something. I’ve already forgotten about most of the stuff that happened in the beginning, but I do remember him telling riho to treasure herself more. She didn’t really do that though, so he said f that hoe. It is true, he didn’t ask her on dates and stuff, but why would he when he knows he wouldn’t get the pure relationship he wants from her? Also, I stg, if the mc even interacts with riho again im going to get mad. Dude needs to learn to forget about her
