I don’t really believe he ever thought of her in a sibling way. From the beginning he first found her cute, u can find any little child cute, doesn’t mean you thought of them in a sibling relationship.
And they are not related in any possible way, he may be adopted but it doesn’t make them siblings especially if they don’t want to see eachother that way. The age diff is a trow off bug only by like 3:4yrs I believe. My parents are 8 years apart and it’s fine, if the age diff was at least 10,12 or more I believe it strange. But as long as they treasure eachother, I always try to accept. And if one was to compare their age with actual worry in mind, you should watch the Fl’s. She has a child’s body but remember she much older than the ml.

but she's a child now and she acts like it (like she may be smarter but u can't tell me she isn't acting like a child. Every regressor or possessor always end up acting their physical age despite maybe being more advanced lol). If he falls for her when she gets older like when she's a teen then that still isn't really justifiable seeing as how he literally watched her grow from a baby to a teen (well it is kinda but that's just... like in what situation irl would you condone this,, he literally feels sth for her now ded). I'd understand if they would fall for each other when they turn older (maybe 20 and above) and it's even more believable if they fell for each other despite the big age gap (idk the age difference but the height difference is very uhhh HAHAH) if they didn't see each other grow up. She's literally tiny. Small. A child. How are u gonna look at her with adorable eyes going all "awww so cute" then switch to "I'm romantically attracted to her" when she grows bigger. Like how does one fall for a child dsxyftgje even people who grow up tgth or watch a person grow up feel more of a family love for them instead of romantic love. jafxnhbg

I'm gonna reveal too much about myself but when I was 3 years old my neighbor Charlie was born. He was the closest to my age on my street so I've known and played with him since he was in diapers. (I had more interaction than these two leads in his younger years) I think I was about 9 years old when I understood I really liked him. We always say we'd get married, using those .25 cent machines to get plastic rings and gift them to each other. When he was 12 he said he loved me and 15 year old me knew that was dumb cause he's a kid (despite me still having a crush on him). I'll be honest it was wierd because I had liked him for a long time and suddenly like 9th grade you learn how it's wrong to like someone younger than you. That's when I had to figure out where the line was- like stop sleeping in the same room if either of us stayed at each other's places (before then we'd watch TV in the living room and fall asleep on the floor. Now I made sure I was in my room) or hanging out anywhere but our houses was a no. We stopped wrestling (tho I still wrestle on my HS team). Just all these crazy things I made us stop doing because I was older and more aware.
And all of it was in vain cause When he became a freshman and I a senior he asked me to Homecoming and then we started dating officially after that.
For us, we broke up in college- he went abroad and I could handle the distance.
My point is that yes he was a kid, but when I liked him I still thought of myself as a kid. We treated each other as the same age, so it just wasn't anything until I learn it was supposed to be something. You're free to feel grossed out, but I just wanted to share that we were close, we were aware we weren't siblings, and wanted to always be together. Sometime that's all it takes to be in love.

Wait to be clear no one has the right to condone this action in real life, unless a party leads to take advantage of the other. I mean you can’t control children’s hearts. Oh m too lazy to respond back, but to be clear anyone is accepted to have a simple crush on anybody, unless the age I mentioned before is trespassed in my believe. I’ve seen childhood lovers speak of their relationship even when one was almost 5yrs older. This child here holds a simple crush over the fl that he isn’t even aware off. I’m okay with his simple crush since they are both children after all, until he starts making hasty moves that shouldn’t be made to a younger child. I condone the feelings, not to a 100% but almost. I just wish for a simple crush and no touch. And even if stories like these were the predecessors or reincarnated mls start acting as their physical age, it’s still not condonable. Just how you feel about their age gap, you shouldn’t also be okay with the predecessors soul age, if u want to think that way.
I dislike the fact that the male lead is someone of a brother figure to her. From the age difference to the fact that they literally act like siblings. They technically are siblings too. How is he gonna look at that little girl and feel anything other than love for her as a sibling. Even if she grows older that still change the fact that they viewed each other as siblings. Especially the ml. He blushes now and likes her as a sister and someone close to him. He isn't attracted to her in that way and I don't think your sister growing into a woman would change that lol.
