whatt if he just disregards the string of fate and it goes back to him being unable to see red strings since the fortune teller did say that fate is ever so changing
It's just what i think could happen in the story but besides that, this seems quite interesting!
He said he doesn't believe in fate and will do his best without relying on it, yet he hesitates all the time to initiate anything and deflecting any chance he could've taken... I think I preferred if in the end, the girl ended up with another guy while he's still acting like a teenager and growing up as a person to actually take action rather than relying on fate.
