They are not real cousins. His uncle had an affair. They’re not blood related at all, not to mention they only saw each other a total of 2 times in the past.
if it's uncle had an affair that still makes them blood related through the uncle's parents
He’s not blood related to the uncle bro. Uncle had an affair with iljo’s mom. He was already born.
Where did it stated? What chapter?
It’s heavily implied because in chapter 5 it says he was probably more like a “real son” to him than the uncles actual blood related kids. It’s also why he didn’t get a dime when uncle died, he’s not part of the actual family at all. This is how I interpreted it, idk how else you can interpret the mc saying he’s “like a real son” if he actually was.
I mean there’s also a possibility that the uncle isn’t even blood related to mc, he could just be the husband of one of mcs parent’s siblings.
So what if they're related? So what?
I don't understand why it's the readers problem to help someone else justify their conscience about a story. I say let them read the story themselves to find out or leave the story alone if it bothers them. After all, there are literally millions of other stories they can read.
that was never stated. They clearly said iljo was a product OF their affair
so if he’s quite literally his son why would mc say he’s “like a real son”. idgaf whether they are or aren’t cousins. im offering another possibility or interpretation to mfs in the comments who just cant seem to move on.
I agree with you but you know these mfs won’t leave the story alone they come back every week just to complain about the same shit over and over again because they have no life and I’m tired of it
How will this story even be resolved?? They're cousins?? unless they find out they're not??
