Girl, you are already more of a frog to her than you suspect.
I really like when the mc thought she had to save her love-interest (Such an annoying and condescending yuri trope) it was all based on a misunderstanding. The love-interest even made assumptious character-definitions about the mc, while usually, it's the other way around.
It's really amazing that so far, instead of the usual condescending plot of the mc having to save the love interest, this is a more realistic story of two girls who each have something to offer and teach one another.
Edit:
But after all, having read up to chaper 17 this ends up being just as misogynistic, badly written trash about a confident, happy light-haired mc saving the absurdly insecure and melancholy dark-haired love interest as TNR, Citrus and Bloom into you.
I guess most writers have some psychological defect that makes it impossible for them to accept confident and happy dark-haired female characters in their stories or insecure, melancholy light-haired female characters who need to be saved by them.
