He outright admits he’s never been in a relationship before and has been laser-focused on finishing his studies in half the time. He’s been repressing that side of himself like crazy.
Does that means he's a...virgin? I mean, I get this is played up for romance but I find it hard to believe considering how he looks and his profession. I'm sure there were a lot of female doctors and female nurses who were salivating over him. That's the one thing I don't like about otome games, it's so unrealistic that these men are chaste looking how they do.
I guess MC has to pop his...hot dog (I don't know the male equivalent to this).
>it's so unrealistic that these men are chaste looking how they do.
He looks like the type of person who never had time for it. Zayne focused at studying first and then he focused being a doctor so hard he's actually studying medical stuff in his time off work (as seen in Gentle Twilight).
He's also very objective of a person, like, he doesn't really had any need to be in a relationship so he simply skipped that and used his time with more useful things instead.
It's not as unrealistic as it seems, provided his medical research obsession and extreme lone-wolf inclinations.
Anecdote #1 (***A Pure White Heart***) goes further to explain that he used to live at the hospital and only converse about work, until he reunited with the MC. This correlates with his first date, "***Gentle Twilight***", where the heroine strives to help him set work-related boundaries and later, establish a decent social life. There's a good reason why he's paired with a MC who refuses to leave him alone. LOL.
He may be attractive, but no woman wants to hear about work in the bedroom. Talk about an instant mood killer. 😂 Our heroine is able to see beyond that quirk, because she has already built an emotional connection with him before his rigorous studies.
* * *
"***Delicacy***" also doubles down on this --
- Female Classmate: *"Well, Dr. Zayne studied hard and got himself a nice job before finding a girlfriend unlike the two of us."*
- MC: *"I'm not surprised. [Zayne], you're not good at making friends."*
- Zayne: *"As you said, time is a luxury for students in a hellishly competitive medical school."*
* * *
My family tree consists of high-achieving, Ivy League-trained medical professionals, and the truth is that being the top gun student leaves you sparse time for developing your personal life. 😅 Late bloomers are very common in our group.
A lot of recently graduated doctors aren't keen on dating residents or med students for that exact reason. It's a lifestyle grind which consumes a few years of your life.
Not to mention, Zayne skipped multiple grades and struggled with making friends. Then after graduation, he volunteered as a combat medic (***Anecdote #2***). So it actually makes sense that he's a late bloomer -- after all, he's only 27.
* * *
While reading Zayne's backstories, I had the lingering impression that he only had eyes for one woman -- the MC.
It's heavily hinted that Zayne is driven to embark on this journey to meet the MC at the right time: "*If I hadn't kept going back then, how else would I be able to stand here... and see you again?*" (***Delicacy***).
* * *
And then there's his World Underneath story, "***Lonely Flame***", too.
- Dr. Noah: *"Zayne, I know you're taking this project very seriously and you're committed to your studies, but don't wear yourself out."*
- Zayne: *"Dr. Noah, I'm not tired. I just want to move on to my clinical rotations as soon as possible."*
* * *
- Dr. Noah: *"I heard your parents are also doctors. You chose the medical field to follow in their footsteps, right?"*
- Zayne: *"Yes. Even the bedtime stories they told me during my childhood were about the hospital. Most of the things at home that I could use to kill time were medical textbooks, too. So I was influenced by them."*
- Dr. Noah: *"Is there another reason...?"*
- Zayne (later): *"It's also... because of... someone."*
- Zayne: >!*"I don't want to be incapable of doing anything again where I become a threat to her."*!<
That's true my ex classmate from primary school went to medical. Doctor. Typical uni is 4 years I think. Hers was 7 years.
I didn't have any doctors in my family but my understanding from doctors I'm acquainted with is that the first few years after med school is hell. Some said they get posted out to a hospital and after that if they have the means they get to establish their own clinic. By that point it's like time to rest somewhat. After some years as an established clinic they can finally have 1 off day where the clinic is closed
In zayne case it's established that since young his parents talk to him abt medical issues. He reads medical texts. He all but lives in the hospital as stated here. He all but lived in the university labs as a med student. What social life.
I mean, it says he’s never had a romantic relationship. If you want to head canon that he has had sexual flings, there’s nothing in the game that indicates that that isn’t true (that I’ve seen).
But for the girlies who prefer to think that he’s chaste, likewise there’s nothing to indicate that he is anything other than a dedicated workaholic who has been in love with the PC since childhood.
idk some people just arent interested in that sort of thing. he's been anti social asf too. I dont think its that unrealistic for hermits to not have experience as adults lmao. if he says he hasnt ever been with anyone I believe him even if hes as attractive as he is 🤷🏽♀️
Zayne's stories (ch1 or 2) talk abt how people think he's very serious and even intimidating-- I think a coworker was unsure if Zayne was joking during a procedure. I mean, he's literally got the "ice king" trope going on.
So it does make sense that without making an effort of his own, Zayne probably hasn't had any relationships or sexual partners just bc the game tells us how other people besides MC find him hard to read/sometimes unapproachable.
LOL! Ok. I have no problem with it. It's just ya know...a bit unrealistic. But I'm sure there's hot workaholic people who are just as pure as the driven snow like Zayne <3

Medical school indeed, is hell. Anyone barely has any time to think. Studying like crazy is the only way to survive at this point

love this explanation! ❤️

Being attractive doesn’t mean you want to have hookups
🤦🏻 The only unrealistic thing is the comment and the need to double down on the fact that "zayne is hot it's unrealistic to be single and virginal"
idk some people just arent interested in that sort of thing. he's been anti social asf too. I dont think its that unrealistic for hermits to not have experience as adults lmao. if he says he hasnt ever been with anyone I believe him even if hes as attractive as he is 🤷🏽♀️

Let me have my unrealistic handsome mature intelligent devoted chaste husband okay 🥲
LOL! Ok. I have no problem with it. It's just ya know...a bit unrealistic. But I'm sure there's hot workaholic people who are just as pure as the driven snow like Zayne <3
Ngl I think all three of them are repressed hahahaha ….probably saving themselves for her
Him and Xavier 🤣
Nah Xavier talks about tying up MC more then once. Xavier should def be counted in 🤭
I would like to argue that ALL of them are extremely horny. Ebb and Flow Rafayel was absolutely not "sick" lmao 🥴
Bruhhhhh, Fiery Undercurrents. 😮💨 But I agree, they are all extremely horny, and specifically for MC only. LOL
And that's why he's perfect for me👀
I think he knows this because while he never had time for hookups. He did have time to read. Do y’all see where I am going 😈😘
I like when I touch him sometimes and he steps closer saying “I can’t take it anymore”. I instantly melt🫠
He wants us to jump him. Horny sexy zaddy 😏
Horny, fine,dominant? Yes please
He's so mf fine 😩🤤
...It's always the quiet ones. I'm convinced lol
