I liking this story a lot but I have two major thoughts on it so far. I’m a true romantic and I love and respect a man who knows what he wants and yearns for it. I’m talking risk all for you Bruno Mars yearning style. So currently when she gains more self confidence, I’m very much rooting for Kei-kun over our ML. He seems to be sending mixed signals on whether or not, he perceives her as a friend or more. And seems to harbor some feelings for her definitely but is unsure what because of préexistant feelings for another woman. (All I have to say to that shit is you can’t have if your cake and eat it too) But I’m also very emotionally perceptive. I as much as his aunt seems like a cool and caring woman. She helped in raising , but even after two seconds I can tell he has some serious long term unrequited feelings for her. And the fact that she has not fully shut that shit down is weird as fuck. Don’t even get me started on her pinching 🤏 his cheek and saying he still got a long way to go. Like maturing in sense and let’s him call her by her name. Like she acknowledges his feelings but enjoys the attention but thinks he’ll grow out of it like no she should have as the adult shut that shit down immediately major red flag 🚩 to me for her character.
