the MC get better life and regained confidence after confession to the first love girl and get rejection so he can focus chose one from two girl who he trully love and loving him too betwen the idol girl or his coworker the bar girl in future .
and the older brother show his love to MC as brother by working as a hosstes and ordered MC for back home
meanwhile the first love girl who reject the MC should faced the reality if her boyfrieng is a womanizer and still love her boyfriend while aksing herself why she fell for him but i think the two of them still happy together
@itainteazy Kaede was always kinda weird with Tetsuo, anyway. Like how she was when she found out he was moving away...her reaction was more like a jilted girlfriend than an actual childhood friend. So I definitely agree with you saying she was leading him on.
