Since Paljae isn't human, I don't think it is wise to align him with human ages or mentality. He's being that born with fastest developing minds and certainly can't be the same with human process in understanding the world. So, even if they're having intercourse, that can't be said as Ryeong doing the deed with a child.
I thought we already pass this discussion. The cover changed into both Ryeong in white & black hair because of some readers lack of understanding and calling Ryeong grooming Paljae.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Dude, Paljae is portrayed as a child in the early stages of this MASTERPIECE. He has no memories, an empty creature.
The reason why am GENUINELY asking is because if they'll do it in the next chapter, he won't be considered as child anymore. I WON'T consider him as a child anymore.
WTF is wrong with you both?
PALJAE IS A CHILD OF WINTER. Don't shit with me.

You and the one replied to me have similar name with P-something. I thought the one replied me is you with contradictory ideas, turns out to be different users.
Looks like you have problem in reading comprehension. Like, r u illiterate? Can't you understand the meaning conveyed through words?
The 'child' topic here, what I and the one above me replied, regarded as someone with lack of better understanding for the world. Whom easily manipulated as they didn't know better. Like a human child with such innocent that older figure can easily groomed. This could bring wrongful understanding for Ryeong conducting any intimate moment with Paljae.
You say Paljae won't be a child anymore if he has sex with Ryeong? What kind of thinking is that. You're saying a child can suddenly be mature if they having intercourse. If your brain work like this, Paljae already mature then. Because he has intercourse with Ryeong, IN THIS TIMELINE, during Ryeong's recovery in chapter 108 and confirmed by Ryeong asking Paljae did they sleep together in chap 112. Yet you still asking will they sleep together to make it Paljae become mature. Isn't this showing how lacking you understanding the story? THEY HAVE DONE IT.
Paljae fated to be 'Child of the Winter'. Not 'child' in the meaning for human early stage as a child. But beings that born from winter. He's beings that born to rule a realm. The winter realm. Thus he was born from such realm.
His capacity and capability can't be the same with human stage that only mature and know any better through lessons and experiences which also require a lot of time to mature. Paljae was said to be empty creature because his has no memory. Like an empty jar, but doesn't mean his mental capacity is limited like any child does. It won't take time for Paljae to understand how the world works because his mental age already developed. He has his own preference without anyone teach him what is good or bad for him. For now, He's just not wise enough like a divine God supposed to be.

THIS IS FOR USER "god is TIAN JIA RUI"
Wow..
I'm surprised you're still investing time in this pointless conversation. *smirks*
This will be my last reply, I have priorities and will not engage further.
I won't engage in a discussion where my words are consistently misinterpreted.
Just to establish context, YOU decided to respond to my boring question. Your response was a voluntary.
In the concluding scenes of Chapter 112, Paljae said
" WE DID NOT LAY WITH EACH OTHER THIS TIME.
I DIDN'T TAKE YOU LIKE BEFORE.
I am different from who I was back then."
— check the last few panels of the said chapter :)
In this timeline, they didn't have intercourse or coitus yet. They didn't "SLEEP" together.
That's the main REASON why I decided to drop that boring question.
I can read and write just fine, I'm not "illiterate".
How about you then? I think you should revisit your reading comprehension skills.
Now, about my reply:
" The reason why I'm GENUINELY asking is because if they'll do it in the next chapter, he won't be considered as child anymore. I WON'T consider him as a child anymore."
Again,
I won't consider him as a child anymore.
Just to EXPAND on what I said earlier,
once they "sleep" together, I will perceive Plajae as someone courageous, passionate, and a mature man who still maintains a touch of childishness.
My opinion of him is MY OWN, I don't see how it affects you. I'm not obligated to justify my thoughts to you.
And please, I am not saying that "a child can suddenly be mature if they're having intercourse." OMFG! Maturity is a lifelong process, and some may still be working on it in their 60s.
Paljae is a child of winter. He has the CHARACTERISTICS of a child, he was portrayed as a child in the early stages of this Webtoon. You can't convince me otherwise.
Your inability to comprehend me now is not my problem anymore. Period.

So, are they gonna do it?
