Aw pom. And lol must be quite something to be a 'normal' guy friends with some 'popular'/attractive guy who's a chick magnet
Though i wouldn't mind seeing a BL/GL story from this artist. IDK if a side couple like that would happen in the main story, even tho statistically there prolly are some teens like that but other than being really close i can imagine them hiding it/not coming out to a group of friends ,but i think it'd fit well with this author considering they're doing a 'coming of age' type high school story with this series and polar opposites to an extent
"you're not what i expected" oof, i can imagine some 'instant first love/crush" but you'd think they'd get to know each other as friends before asking out. tho some times ppl do change/act diff with a girlfriend/bf than a platonic friend
