There’s no official pairing in the main story, but there is romantic tension. I didn’t use the no-pairing tag because that felt a little misleading: the protagonist will have lots of romantic interest directed at him, and I’m definitely going to write some wild stuff in the extras! There may be a faint air of doting on the male lead. The author’s a simpleton who just likes writing about p 854Favorites718Clicks/ch1.4kGifts
