for a SoL romcom this doesn't really hold back, but it's still far from them getting into a relationship, there needs to be a mutual realization of feelings followed by a series of developments before it can happen, and probably a beach episode, a hot spring trip, revalations of each others past, getting close with each other's group of friends and a female love rival that stands no chance against the FMC afterwards we can probably see them get into a relationship in about a minimum of 100 more chapters unless theres a delayed confession because of fireworks at a summer festival
