I don't think she is still that desperate to find a home or not as desperate as back then, so she might have rejected him and just kept him as a friend.
ALSO she might have a boyfriend if you read again she didn't mention anything about her not having one she even hinted that she moved on saying "back then, i liked you".
(btw, i searched his blog and twitter and didn't find anything relating what happened after the story so this is all my opinion)
(i didn't try asking him directly so if anyone knows the language please try to get in contact and ask him 🙏)
