@hmmmmm who's we LMAO
But sure, don't we all ╮⁠(⁠＾⁠▽⁠＾⁠)⁠╭

@YutaKujosimp oh there will be progress for sure, for both of them, mc is not perfect in his emotions too, so they both needed that distance
But yeah, the resolution of that angst is going to be sooo rewarding (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)

@YutaKujosimp I will disagree purely on the point that it's MCs responsibility to clear this up - it's not. At this moment he of course knows that what they have can't be put in the definition of friendship, but it doesn't mean that it's romantic either. If you look at it from mcs perspective - JH sees him as his one and ONLY pillar of support, that's incredibly unhealthy and daunting for the receiving side, like a parent to a child. That's why he says "I can't be your only one" - you need other support systems. Cause if you see that support system leave you will do anything to stop them, including going in a direction that will satisfy mcs desires even if jh is not comfortable with that yet. Mc stood on his business - not sleeping in his house even tho JH begged, separate work/life between them and etc.  He created boundaries that JH was constantly trying to cross without even knowing why and throwing a tantrum when it didn't work. He needs this time and space apart from MC, him finally respecting boundaries is not because he suddenly understands their importance as default, it's because MC finally snapped and JH is scared that it will fully drive him away.

I read the novel, they will redeem himself of course and I love their progress, but it's going exactly how it needs to go

@BL is addictive confessing his feelings to JH at this moment will do nothing but perpetuate his already unhealthy attachment, he has no insight, doesn't understand why he feels the way he does. This separation is exactly what he needs to figure out his emotions, since he didn't need to do that before. MC is actually fantastic in his insistence of JH getting a therapist. Figure s*t out, decide who you want to be in this relationship and have BOUNDARIES based on that, cause friends and lovers have diff set of boundaries and access 

If he confesses now, JH still might not realise what he truly feels, but he will go along with romance just to have MC stay with him -hard not to see how fucked up that scenario is

Rn MC can't be actually sure, that JH likes him in a romantic sense, cause you could view that attachment as that of a child to their caretaker (let's be real here) and that is what worries him. "I can't be your only one" - as in mc can't be JH's only pillar of support

@unknown dihhh was about to say, familiar vibes huh lmao
Praying for his a*s
