Does he raised him with the intention of him being his lover? Did he adopt him with the intention of doing sexual things or bad thing? Please search up the meaning of grooming.
And for the record who fnkng love to turned a blind eye on grooming, if you see one you bet I'm the first person to gave them a flying fvck

"IT IS" make you look dumb cause you just said "it is pedophilia" and than decided to say grooming... They are two complete different subjects what are you talking about. Grooming is when you raise a person for bad intention, pedophilia is when you feel an attraction towards kids. What are you not understanding?

“grooming involves building trust and emotional dependency, often starting in childhood, to exploit someone later” in this case the mc raised ml and allowed him to create sexual relationships with him, inadvertently exploiting the relationship they had before— AND setting up a somewhat nearly incest-ish AND pedophilic relationship. therefore shut the FUCK up and seek help

Quite literally the dumbest shit I've read. Glad you explained grooming but what does pedophilia and fricking incest have to do with anything. What CREATES incest is when you have intercourse or a relationship with a blood related relative. Their not blood related, and pedophilia again is when you feel an attraction directed towards kids. It said several times hes an adult their not related the only reason Geon-wo (forgot his name) doesn't allow him to have a partner and willingly knowing what's going to happen. Is because he wants to protect or some shit (idfk the story hadn't finished) and it shows you Geon-wo doesn't feel anything towards him he just thinks he still a kid and cares about him and his health. Now tell me again VERY loud and clearly which part you don't understand.
Omfg and if you reply with the explanation of incest you need to go back to school. You can't just automatically assume anything is incest because someone feels like taking care of a youngling. And even in the fucking thing he says "hyung" addressing older men he's not calling him "papa, dad" get this through your thick skull.
Bro why everyone keep saying "this is pedophilia" bro it says in the manga several times he's an adult who lived with Geonwo (Ong don't remember his name) FOR 2 years (Hae-on isn't 2 years old) and Hae-on grew fast in 2 years. You guys are just somehow missing the point Everytime where they explain to you that he grows faster than a average human being.
