Minato's Laundromat Episode 3 Reactions
What is up with pool scenes in BLs this year??? Are they trying to kill us?Anyway, as usual these boys are magnetized by one another but still manage to be honest and talk through their issues better then most adults. Love them to bits

the glare shin gives to people is strangely hilarious just because of how stone cold it is. brr. same with minato's chronic foot in mouth issue but in his defense he does have a high schooler crushing on him...idk the emotions from the characters were as good as usual

this drama feels so wholesome, hard not to like the character's (even though starting to worry about the girl's that r fan-girling over Shin, seen too many BL's where the root of all trouble start with jealous females. so hope i'm wrong and that comes to not). but love the relationship between Shin and Minato, the push and pull given their personalities and age difference, is just satisfying to watch. usually the age thing is brushed aside and in a blink becomes a nonissue (which personally i detest, cause it isn't nothing) so glad finally we get a mature POV dealing with it. ******************************************************************
****************************************************************************************************************************************
this ep can be summed up as adults think about the consequences, while teens live in the moment - Minato is interested and flattered but he a realist, and knows he can't allow himself to get distracted. cause he will have to face the consequences (some he mentioned, others he didn't - this topic for sure aint not black and white) so i get him. and i think the reason he went to the reunion was to figure out if he still felt the same for Sakuma Sensei (not just hormones, like he told Shin). i love that he puts thought into his words and actions. to me that means he isn't making light of Shin's feelings. ********************************
****************************************************************************************************************************************
had a feeling Asuka was interested in Shin, but wasn't 100% sure. this time with that offer i'm sure he curious and if Shin was up for it, they would be together. but as Shin isn't, he laughed it off. bottom line think he's gay and just ready to experiment.
