One of the rare times I’m rooting for the second male love interest. I understand Kou is going through stuff and hopefully gets himself together so they have a happy ending, as expected in a romance, but currently he’s annoying and rude and moody, which makes the second male lead SO much more enjoyable. She deserves better, Kou! But, I’m here for the character growth.
