For everyone saying he's too much, maybe. But they do have an agreement, they are not to see other people, even if they are not dating they are exclusive. They made a deal that they were not seeing other people and that guy is sus AF, the top really gets annoyed because the guy likes Kyuho and we all know it. He would react the same if the top was the one getting in these situations with someone else. Dating or not they are exclusive, do not forget that. A deal is a deal, if Kyuho wants to see others then why was he the one that proposed to date?

@Kaji not really. He's not behaving in this manner because of their deal surrounding exclusivity, but because he's emotionally invested in their relationship and jealous. Since their deal was "no attachments", he's getting stressed over his own conditions, and has no security around the permanency of their relationship. He's yet to realise his feelings, so he grasps onto straws like "we had a deal, but you're sleeping around" when that's not the case at all, he just doesn't like being second to someone recognised as a close companion
I've somewhat misread you're statement, so I'm repeating a few things you've said, but you get my point. The top is not behaving reasonably, he is just rationalising his outbursts
@Kaji i dont think so? because in previous chapters it shows his friend is quite unlucky with guys cause he tends to go after straight guys often (i don't remember i might've gotten it mixed up) but anyways they're close friends he doesn't see him in that way which is what matters. so the fact he's even trying to force the idea that something is going on between them when he's saying there's not just shows he being irrational.
@Denjizloved Exactly my take, couldn't have said it better. ML's behavior is not justifiable at all here, and it stems from unrealized jealousy. ML actually seems WAY MORE invested than Kyuho does, frankly, and I can't imagine Kyuho being this big of a di** if ML was out with one of his drunken friends.
