God this is so infuriating how the ML and FL are dancing around their feelings and not actually realizing that they like each other. I swear it's like 200 chapters in and everything could have been solved by chapter 20 if they actually just friggen talked about it instead of doing this weird back and forth game of 'trying to not love the other because the other can't be theirs for some nonsense reason'. I mean I'm still gonna keep reading, but seriously, why can't they just drop their pride and pretenses and just talk about their feelings instead of playing guessing games and nonsense.
