MC is an unreliable narrator so I'm unclear if he was serious when he said he never liked the ML when asked but was in fact lying to himself. At some level his feeling of bringing desserts/baked goods everyday is contrasted with that action - do you always bring baked goods to someone you don't actually like even if you claim it's a "payment" fee? It does hit the spot of angst though - I cried about the pot of flowers and how misunderstood and defeated the MC was. We never get an explanation of why/how the ML decides to marry the MC after 7 years especially when he hasn't forgiven MC. I was expecting some exposition on how he took the opportunity and that he still thought of him regardless in the 7 years they didn't meet. So I don't know why the ML decided to go and fall in love again with MC, it does seem he liked him during the school years and was just appalled disappointed when the exercise room situation happened.
[collapse] I know people complain that the MC might be too passive but I feel that's more realistic than being strong - what can you do when the world is against you? Save your breathe and do what you can do.
