He wasn't? He just saw her as a friend initially and she didn't take no for an answer. I don't get how his lack of interest makes him a dick. That's completely ignoring her bad behavior.Well... I guess... it's basically inevitable right? It got axed and the author didn't want to pull the trigger but it's pretty much been set for a while now.
Can't say I'll miss this one though, MC was always too much of a dick to the girl for no reason, even if he realized way too late.
