Oh nooooo, buddy's crashing out and it's probably completely unwarranted.
I wonder what the over/under is on his boss not knowing MC's brother from Adam.

It'd be kinda funny if she actually did pick him for that reason, but that was just a bonus she found out after the fact, because she only chose him because he was just the first guy who didn't blatantly stare at her ass in the office or make low-grade sexual harassment remarks to her in the hallways or something equally mundane/fitting for a romcom/rom-dram coded MMC.

Not really, with how fucked it is to get a proper relationship with plans for life nowadays... it truly is hell. Now, get to fuck someone? The easiest it has ever been. To keep a relationship until the end? The hardest it has ever been.

It's normal for men to have nowadays low selfsteem.

There is a 0% chance she even knows he has a brother, let alone one who's a famous athlete.
I'd place my bets on the reason being "she actually just liked him the most of the options she had to make that kind of proposal to" with a possible side of "he reminds her of her ex and/or some other old flame/crush so she sees this as an opportunity to get the kid she could never have with him."

I never like absolutes so I would have said 0.023% chance, but yes I essentially agree.

I think it would be interesting if she knew, but he tries so hard to hide it, so it would seem strange.

I guess she could have found out if the company ran background checks on employees upon employment, and she got access to his file for whatever reason.

But even then I figure she probably though he was nice/cute/a safer option in terms of discretion than other men in her life, which would be simpler answers and require less setup/rationalization in terms of the narrative (such as it is).

It's not an unwarranted concern, though. He has very low self-esteem. So, he can't really rationalize why he was chosen considering the chief will have the guts to choose another guy (as evident on the 2nd chapter) and her insistence of being non-committal. Remember, he was a virgin before this with no relationship experience.

I wish series like this were better at investigating trauma WITHOUT requiring that people jump to conclusions. I know it's Japan, but can't they talk about it like adults?

Nah its not that unbelievable. She can't get his brother. He's unattainable. This guy though? He's a virgin who works for her. In which case she would've picked his brother, through him.

I know it won't be the case, but its surprisingly believable drama for once.

What place in the entire world do people talk about it like adults? People love to type this, but when the real situation happens and emotions enter the picture... whoosh.
