I know!! Regardless of their age difference, Jiwoo was just a cute student in highschool and Jiyoung was the first adult to guide him through the awakener' world besides Kayden, normally those kind of relationship are build on respect, admiration, gratitude and such maybe a slight crush at the beginning but not to the point of having strong romantic feelings.. Like having a high-school boyfriend in the same age as your young brother is awkward as hell (⊙…⊙ )
as you said the romance here was unexpected and unnecessary, the plot is already great and mecca interesting without it.
Guys please don't hate me but I still can't see Jiwoo and Jiyoung as a potential couple. For me, the romance seems forced and I can't unsee them in a sibling relationship just as how they are since the beginning of this manwha
