Definitely agree, and I also think that by not having her in the series, the viewer actually gets more annoyed at Cake until this episode and you get a better window into Eiw's mind bc we only know what he can see. Up until this episode Cake's genuinely being a little oblivious and a bit of a dick to his friend by ignoring him and I've seen a few reactors starting to get angry at Cake for it because you think he's just forgetting him. And then you get this scene with Rin and she reveals that he always talks about Eiw, that even when he stays with her after school, his thoughts are with Eiw having to wait for him and that the constant phone calls and messages aren't actually what he wants to do (he does it willingly bc he likes Rin and she wants him to give her all his time, but it's not his own idea to always be on the phone with her). And suddenly you see that even though it looked like he was forgetting Eiw, he was still always in his thoughts and that his actions were simply those of a teenager in his first relationship trying to figure out how to keep that relationship and sort of failing at having the right balance between girlfriend and friends. That's why I love the fact that they didn't show Rin up until that point, I loved having this mini revelation!

I see what mean in terms of Rin, and her perspective being shown more but I honestly think that if they showed more of perspective she’d definitely be villainized. Just for the simple fact that Eiw is so sweet, and understanding. He never once complained about her, or even spoke ill of her. Even when he felt neglected by Cake & realized his feelings for Cake. I think the directors/writer did the right thing by not adding her perspective in such a huge way. Also it doesn’t matter how many times I watch this series I always cry like fool! 🥲

Damn 2 seconds in and I'm already crying. That ending had me bawling. This is heartbreaking but I'm here to see how this love story will unfold. Can't wait for the next episode Javi!

I felt the same. The story of Peak and Hom is a good one but should not have been included in My Only 12 %, it disturbes the deepness of the main emotion.

I'm new here but I love your reaction ! I agree I wish they drop the sister / minor plot and focus on Rin/ Cake so that we felt something when they broke up ! Ep 7, 8 and 12 are my favorite ! I still feel the pain every rewatch

Did I 😭😭🥺🥺 again yes, yes I did.
I see what you mean about Rin, but I feel like if we had actually seen her say those things about Ewi, it would have been a little hard to sympathize with her(imo).

I cannot believe after so many rewatch I still get teary eyes... When it pierces you on the right spot you're doomed to keep that precise emotion lingering unceaslessly.
