Their relationship did feel a little weird in the beginning because Jihoon was physically an adult but he was undeniably a mentally stunted child. His parents left him inside a basement while he was still a child. He was so young that he couldn't even recognize that he was feeling lonely and suicidal at one point. Those were feelings he never really learned. He went into isolation before that. It's interesting that he feels empathy for Gi Tae. It's clear he is incapable of feeling empathy for anyone else. He is rather ruthless.
For Gi Tae, who has lived in the hell that was the upper world, that basement was a sanctuary, but for someone like Jihoon who had lived in that basement all alone and in complete and utter silence and loneliness, that very paradise was probably like a hell to him. He would have killed himself that day if he never came across Gi Tae. I was kinda waiting for that to be revealed to Gi Tae at some point, but it never was. Bummer.
I was looking forward to some mutual feelings sexy time lol. The other sex scenes were kinda mechanical. Jihoon didn't know what sex even was and Gi Tae was going through it because he felt like it was an obligation for the safety Jihoon was providing him. It would have been nice if there were 10-20 chapters more.
