The second story it felt like it could have been cute and could have gave love emotions yet it didn't, it lacked a lot. We have the MC who promised to come back for the ML meanwhile they keep writing letters to each other for 12 years sharing everything about themselves except their love lives which the ML had a bunch of girlfriends even though he was supposedly in love with the MC...what..?? How does that even make sense, and they were all mostly older than him, supposedly one was in college while he was still in high school...how is that okay, grooming if anything yet the ML was nonchalant about it and the friends said something about he would just date them because they asked. Um what happened to "love feelings"
The author sucks at writing love stories and making the reader feel like "aww love" or at least to see us see how they loved each other.
