But also the whole point in both of their journeys is breaking out of what’s expected of you and stopping living your life by their rules if it makes you miserable and young figured it out earlier in his life while old lived long into that life to the point of feeling like he spent a whole 40 years on that only to be feeling like there’s a void and he DID find it in him to take a step into something new and better for himself by going to that class but like YHEYRE BOTH REALLY AWARE OF THAT REALIZATION SO I DONT GET WHY OLDER IS SOMEHOW STILL PARROTING THE “TOO OLD AND GAY WRONG” STUFF EVEN FOR A SECOND INSTEAD OF PAUSING AND ADMITTING HOW HE REALLY THINKS LIKE AAA
Rare case of me actually insanely loving an age gap in a couple cause damn they’re perfect together and damn young guy’s journey of taking absences and dropping out etc is too real for me like aaa, and I’m 24 too except he’s working at least and I’m reading BL manhwa huh, and with no gay aunt to save me too oof
But also old guy is funny af “wErE bOtH mEn, SiXtEeN yEaR dIfFErEncE, No nO No” proceeds to agree to one month trial with no particular pressure, takes zero convincing to be enthusiastically into the sex like it’s his natural everyday life and everything else to the point of wanting him not to stop living at his house BOY IF YOU DONT ADMIT TO WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW ISTG, no one whose answer is a hard no agrees to a relationship trial with the excuse of “waiting it out till the other InEVitABlY gets over it”, i wanna shake him
But also small thing but I love it how the vibe made it so even tho the younger slept around a lot in the past, it’s not as if it’s a personality trait or addiction like in most other comics where it’s like a “playboy turned loyal” /THING/, it just feels like this guy just happened to do that in the past and happened to fall for someone now with no FiGhtInG the UrGe to NoT SlEEp ArOunD shit, like obviously that doesn’t belong in this story anyway BUT I MEAN THE VIBE IS NORMAL IDK HOW TO EXPLAIIIIN,
