AbsoluteBL

Less a love quad and more a friends-to-lovers narrative with additional love interest trapping. I did like that we had one of each language-type represented: by which I mean, same age, younger, and older. So we got all the different forms of address and levels of formality. As well as different kinds of pursuit, not just because of the different characters, and personalities, but because of different social status. In the end, I wish this had leaned into the gentleness of the central romance arc (as a JBL would have) rather than muddy the waters with extra sides. Nice kissing for a KBL tho.
