Also before y'all ride my ass more, I am not calling anyone a pedophile, Im not saying anything sexual will happen with him while he looks like a kid, I just think it's weird that the author chose to depict their first meeting as him being a kid instead of a little older. I just said it was weird LMFAO y'all are actually insane
it's already in the plot, he saw first human which is a child, that's why he took a child form. if you ask why author chose a kid for first human he see is mostly bc the author wanted to point out how hyo un is like a baby, having no mentor and experience on how to be a proper mythical beast, and imo it's very easy to understand. unless you just want to keep on seeing him in a child form weird or ped*phile ish (which is shows that you don't understand the story)
People tripping. I agree. Hyo-un isn't a just a child physically, but also mentally. The fact that one of them takes the role of guardian/caretaker to a child is just gross and unnerving. It's the epitome of power imbalance and in real life that's a precursor to grooming. Not fun, not even when it's a "mythical" creature that looks and acts like a literal child.
I'm sorry? did you see taehyuk manipulating him here in these flashback? no, right? and so far from what I saw in raws taehyuk didn't do anything close to manipulation or any power imbalance that you so eloquently said. he's trying his best to take care hyo un even though he finally got a hunch that hyo un isn't human
please, if you still try to apply that unbased opinion, stop reading, this story isn't just for you, bc you refuse to differentiate between reality and fiction.
"they knew eachother while one of them was a child" is my least favourite troupe. Shits WEIIIRRRRDDDDD
