#is shaw actually the one with the most information and kinda controlling stuff behind the scenes

I wonder how they boys would react if they saw mc kissing one of the pther boys and if they confront her she explains they just made it official

I honestly think they would all react similarly for each guy. However, there is one exception that I think would be a lot different for one of them. These are more sad than happy so I apologize. The very end will have spoilers but I will give a spoiler warning before in case you want to stop reading. More under the cut~

Lucien:

He sees MC with one of the boys, holding hands and even giving each other a little kiss.

His eyes widen and his mouth parts slightly as he breathes in a small gasp.

It was unexpected.

And to see it right before his eyes, confirming MCs relationship made his stomach stir.

It was more of a shock than anything. He wouldn’t have reacted the way he did if MC had told him about her relationship prior from seeing them in the act.

However, he only smiles. A sad smile you could say.

He doesn’t believe he deserves MC and tells himself deep down that they would’ve never ended up together.

He can never be fully honest with her and he knew that would get in the way of any serious relationship they could have yeah unless you decide to ditch these dumb beliefs and open up more, be more honest with both yourself and MC

The thought pulls on his heartstrings but he continues to ignore it as it only ends up distracting him in the end.

He continues to support and encourage MC because he truly cares for her. However, he does end up pulling himself a bit away from her as well.

He stops talking about more personal things and things about himself. He says it’s because he doesn’t want to cross any boundaries but it’s also because he can’t stand the thought of not being with her so he will kill those emotions by distancing himself

Victor:

To be quite honest, he doesn’t take it as well as the others.

Jealous 101

That stick up his ass is just deeper now and he says stupid things out of jealousy.

He even questions MC about her relationship after meeting with him for a proposal.

MC: My relationship?

Victor: What is it you see in him that captured your heart hm?

MC doesn’t really know how to respond since this seems very out of character for Victor but also pretty normal since he asks the most random things at times.

He continues to stare at her, waiting for a response, but eventually looks away and insults whoever it is with something similar to “he must be a moron” as he continues to go through the papers on his desk.

This strikes a nerve with MC,

MC: What is that supposed to mean?

Jealousy + Victor = “You’re an idiot”

Keep in mind that he isn’t necessarily rude all the time and is just more tsun dumb gotta make it seem like I’m mean but not that mean

It takes time for it to sync in for him but he hates the thought of MC being with someone else no matter what. He just comes to terms with it eventually.

Shaw:

Right now, with what we have on him, he’s probably the one who is most ok with it.

He doesn’t prioritize relationships and is more drawn to what’s entertaining and fun for him.

He figured out that being in MCs company turns out to be interesting and enjoys the time with her because of this.

He involuntarily talks about more personal things at times but he hides most of everything from everyone.

The best way to put it for him is: He’s butthurt

He’s a bit pouty that someone took his “source of entertainment” and continues to tell himself that she was that and ONLY that.

But later, he feels a sort of emptiness after not being around MC as much as he used to.

DENIAL! HES IN DENIAL!!!

Even though MC is in a relationship with one of the other guys, this doesn’t exactly stop him from being buddy buddy with MC. Boundaries? Who’s that?

He knows what’s crossing the line but also doesn’t change the way he acts towards MC. tbh would probably tick off whoever she’s with

But overall, he doesn’t put as much thought into it as the others. He’s more disappointed than heartbroken if we’re talking about the Shaw we have right now.

Kiro:

Baby boy babie.

He sees MC in public being held lovingly in the arms of another man.

The sadness in his eyes is clear as crystal, however, he snaps himself out of it, telling himself that he’s being selfish.

Kiro wants all good things for MC even if it means being with someone else.

He may even wave to her with a bright smile.

He doesn’t necessarily want to talk to whoever it may be as he still feels very flustered from just seeing them.

He’s afraid he may say something selfish but ends up laughing everything off like he normally does.

It’s a bit off from his natural behavior and MC notices, so she sends him a text later that day asking if he was ok.

“Don’t worry! Just have a lot on my plate right now but I’ll be recharged in a week Miss Chips!”

He puts his phone down, lays on the bed, and stares at the ceiling for what seems like an eternity but eventually falls asleep and wakes up with a fresh start.

He’s still as friendly as ever to MC and watches out for her but keeps his distance as well because he respects personal boundaries.

Gavin:

He notices MC with another man, one he has met before. The young boy in love side of him gets jealous upon seeing them together but he’s an expert at hiding it.

It was only when they held hands that his cool facade came tumbling down.

The look of shock on his face remained there for a long minute and his heart crumpled.

He’s been in love with this girl most of his life, hoping to god that one day he could reunite with her and never let go.

He was just too late.

His love for her is so pure and deep that this doesn’t change anything for him.

He vowed to himself that he would always protect her no matter what; For she was who gave him life.

If he wasn’t already bad at responding or being available before MC was in a relationship, he is now.

He distances himself from everyone and everything. It’s just his way of coping with things.

When he sees or bumps into MC’s partner, he’s even more cold than usual. He’s not angry at them, he’s angry at himself and he can’t help but being upset every time he’s reminded that she’s not his.

However, he’s never angry at her. He still loves everything about her, respects and supports any decision she makes. He’s just frustrated with himself for not taking the leap.

BONUS

Gavin with Shaw:

**SPOILERS**

Gavin with Shaw is completely different, I’m not going to lie.

He is f u r i o u s.

Everything had been stripped away from him piece by piece in Gavin’s life.

He may have had a good relationship with Shaw growing up, but they’ve gone on separate paths since.

While I still don’t believe Gavin and Shaw hate each other, I think Gavin is just sad that it had to be this way, that they weren’t as close as they used to be.

However, seeing his little brother kissing and holding the only woman he has ever loved makes him snap.

He doesn’t take out anger on anyone, he knows that’s wrong, but he goes to an isolated field where he can let out his frustration and anger.

He blows things around and continuously asks himself “why?”

He eventually drops to his knees and lets his emotions take over, crying the rest of his pent up frustration.

He neither takes anger out on Shaw when he runs into him.

But the moment Shaw starts talking about MC, Gavin grabs the front of his collar and reels his arm back ready to take a punch.

In the end, he drops both his arm and Shaw’s collar, walking away.

Shaw calls out to Gavin and looks him dead in the eyes, saying he isn’t messing around this time and that MC is the most important person in the world to him.

He tries to convince Gavin that this isn’t just a fling and that his feelings for her are real and strong.

In a way, Shaw wants to reassure Gavin even though he knows it’s breaking him apart on the inside.

But this actually does help Gavin a bit. It takes a while, but after seeing how gentle Shaw is with her and how happy she is, Gavin begins to heal.
