@Huh!!! Why am I here????π°π°ππ
There was a scene in early chapters where it was teased or hinted that our mL is kinda attracted to MC's beauty (he blushed while lookin at mc smoking, they were in school if im not mistaken) with what happened to them, he might have fallen bec of our MC's personality after what happened. He just respected MC's decision for them not to speak with each other bec of the painful history they shared
