But in the modern times hyo-un has no memory of his mate. So for him he did love taehyuk for who he is only…and not because he’s his past mate. Even if the last few chapters hyo un clearly tells taehyuk that he only has taehyuk in his heart and not his previous mate.
And about the second issue….hyo-un isn’t really a child. He’s a shapeless and formless who couldn’t take his dragon form due to not having a birthgiver to teach him. He only takes on the “form” of a child when he sees one in the forest…..and in the later chapters from the pictures i have seen..hyo-un takes on the form of an adult in a few days i think…or he just grows up fast. He wasn’t raised by taehyuk. Nor is he a child. And I’m pretty sure the author chose the image of the child for him initially to represent the sentiments of a young lost dragon who doesn’t have anyone to teach him how to be himself …pretty much like a young child.

Yeah I get that but with all these fated love stories it's always like of course they fell in love it was mean to be doesn't matter if he didn't technically remember him deep down he knew or some shit like that anyway I know it's dumb but I would've rather have him later met his actual reincarnated mate and realize that he moved on from that thanks to Tae Hyuk.
And as for the child thing I still think it's weird choice to have them meet while Hyo Un was in the shape of child only for them to fall in love later but I guess it's not as bad as having Taehyuk raise a "young" Hyo un but I couldn't have known all the things you've talked about since I didn't read any chapter past the 33rd. I just assumed that since the other dragon referred to Hyo un as a young dragon he was "born" around the time he met Taehyuk for the first time.

If someone is a child or has just been born doesn't matter that he's not human he's considered a child and as far as I know Taehyuk looks like a grown ass man so yeah there's an age gap heck there's even a big ass age gap between Hyo Un and present Taehyuk not inappropriate I guess since present Taehyuk is also a grown ass man but it's there nonetheless. Do you not know what an age gap is?

Lmao "human laws" you do realize we're in the "real" world, you and I are real people and this was written by a "real" person and in the "real"world a child and a grown ass man have no business engaging into a romantic relationship even if along way that child grows up to become a grown ass man at some point and this being a fiction doesn't change the fact that it's gross.
Regarding the whole oh but Hyo Un's not human he's a dragon blah blah blah, if he has just been born as a dragon then he's basically as clueless as a newborn baby hence me referring to him as a child because that's literally what he is and as for the whole context behind hyo Un being in the shape of a child, do I have to remind you that so far the only thing that I saw is "child" Hyo un with adult Taehyuk since I'm only at the chapter 33 and everything they mentioned in their reply happens after so yeah how the hell was I supposed to know?

No he wasn’t born at that time. It’s written in the lastest chapter pretty clearly that he roamed around the world for quite a while before finding a child and taking his form. And even if he hadn’t…..he was born as a dragon…like a full grown dragon. That’s the whole point of this chap. Hyo-un was created as a dragon…they don’t grow up or grow old…they just take forms. They are just an entity of power you could say

There is no “grooming” involved in the story ffs. Please read the whole story again. He took the form of a child. He isn’t an actual child. He could have taken the form of an old man too. That’s just what it is. Hyo un is not even a being to begin with. He was never born. He was created…so there’s no point of him ever even being a child.

Nah girl..from this chapter it’s pretty clear that hyo un isn’t actually a child..he just took the form of a child he saw in the forest. If he saw an old man first he probably would have taken his form. He can change his form whenever he wishes so. And around 3-4 chaps later there’s a scene of a grown up hyo un hugging taehyuk…I can’t read korean so I don’t exactly know what happened..but it could be possible he either changed his form, grew up pretty fast or there’s a time skip.

"Please read the whole story again"? There's litteraly only 33 chapters and in none of these 33 chapters is any of the stuff you're talking about mentioned buddy I was obviously only making assumptions as I've seen many manhwa and especially bls taking that road no need to get so riled up Hon. And yes he is a being what are you talking about lmao? He's not a human being but he's still a being, he exists doesn't he? Also created = born that's the same damn thing if he's a newborn dragon then he's litteraly like a child doesn't matter how you phrase it.

Lmao maybe read my comment properly before replying darling would save you having to look like an ass, I litteraly just told you that there was an even bigger age gap between those too, and yes I wouldn't have liked it if Taehyuk was a clueless 19-20ish young man but that's obviously not the case hence me telling you that it wasn't an inappropriate age gap.

Nah he was repulsed by him because he felt that he was only there to use him, which was the case initially, and it wasn't deep down he was upfront with him about it lmao but somehow at the beginning everytime he started to have nightmares or fell ill he sought Taehyuk out thinking that it was his mate sooo yeah.
"So saying that he only fell for taehyuk bcz he was his past mate seems like invalidating their love" and yeah that was my whole point dude that's my issue with all of these fated love stories. I have yet to see how the author's going to handle present Taehyuk and Hyo Un realizing that Taehyuk is indeed his reincarnated mate and I hope I'm wrong but it kinda feels like that's how it's gonna be.

Bred and born means he came into existence as a baby and then was nourished to growth. A dragon being created means that from the moment he existed he has been a dragon. That’s just it. His human form is like a child just because he saw a child..walking on their feet and he made himself like that. Everything I’m saying IS in the story..in chp 33 itself. He’s Newly created not newly born…and the resemblance he has to a child is all because his birthriver dried before they could guide him….so he knows nothing about this world. That’s the whole point. …he’s not a two year old kid as you’re making it seem whom taehyuk will be “grooming”. That’s a whole ass grown dragon who’ll disintegrated grown men in the few upcoming chapters. That’s a fully grown dragon who doesn’t know of his powers yet in the body of a child. He can make himself look like an adult literally any damn day he wants to
Is it bad that I didn't want him to be his reincarnated mate, I just wanted him to love Taehyuk in spite of him not being his dead lover also the age gap between Taehyuk and Hyo Un in his previous life ☠ tf please don't tell me he didn't basically raise him just to do that yikes
