You're not embarassing. Not every mistake you make is embarassing, not everything you said was embarassing, you're fine. You're just overthinking / self loathing. No one cares.

I'm not breaking any new ground if I point out that Sasaki's and Miyano's attitudes toward BL are symbolic representations of their queerness, right?
Miyano is super embarrassed about liking BL and even though pretty much everyone around him knows he's a fudanshi, he can't bear to take his manga out of the bags in public. He has so much trouble accepting his feelings for Sasaki because he's deep in the closet, and this makes him suspicious of the latter's motivation: Sasaki is as cavalier about reading BL as he is about liking Miyano, but this levity causes Miyano to constantly fear that if he allowed himself to reciprocate the attraction, Sasaki would disavow their mutual feelings with the same ease with which he accepted them, and in fact it takes Miyano seeing that Sasaki is also cultivating their shared interest on his own and being somewhat "serious" about it to truly believe that the golden retriever is really quite invested, even as he lets Miyano set the pace.
I don't know, I think it was an incredibly clever way to touch upon gay shame (scholars will fight over whether it is allegory or metonymy) without making it painfulpy explicit, retaining a layer of subtlety (to an extent) and turning it into its own source of comedy.
