Hayato and Ryou.....

These two were my favorite characters by far. I really wish more time would've been dedicated to them, but I'm happy with what I could get (when I reread I skip the other couple cuz ummm they make me feel weird).
Here's something I never understood:
When Hayato confessed he played it off like it was a joke. Ryou could tell that it really probably wasn't a joke, but decided to follow Hayato 's lead and let him say and do as he wanted. Now I can understand why Ryou would feel bad about Hayato dealing with this and stressing by himself over the confession, but why did Hayato's boss have to make it seem like Ryou was the one who messed up? Both times that Ryou talked to Hayato about the situation, (the 1st time during the confession and the 2nd time in the kitchen (excluding the final time)) Hayato insisted it was a joke. Idk what Ryou was supposed to do at that point beyond giving Hayato space and hoping that it works out for the best. Though the boss was helpful in helping to push them along, I was irritated by him blaming Ryou for taking Hayato's words seriously over trying to push Hayato because he knew the truth. Not everyone is super aggressive like like that in situations like this. Some people are more the type to take other's words seriously and I think that's ok too.
