"second male lead syndrome" girlies thats a groomer. Also in my opinion its a bit weird to groom a child and then break up w them and name ur restaurant after them idk maybe let the person u groom live in peace after.

Also the ml is not as bad as pple r saying he is.. like u guys r acting like the whole relationship is based off blackmail or he used the black mail to coerce him into having sex but like lets be fr all he did was make him tell him why he acts like a delinquent when he isnt. And lets not act like he's deceiving the mc or anything bc he straight up says "ill help u get over ur trauma and youll entertain me" like the mc knows what hes getting into and the ml will probs keep his side of the deal aswell. Idk the ml could be so much worse like I'd gladly choose a guy whose a little manipulative over a whole ass groomer (who honestly seems equally as manipulative or even more when u look from the perspective that HE IS A GROOMER). Like dont get me wrong the ml isnt great rn he is an asshole but at the end of the day a character who is just an asshole can go through character development but a whole ass felon can never un-groom a child.

FR!! as soon as I saw the 2nd ml I was like.. wait a damn min.. "I wanted to wait until you turned 20" and the way mc is in a legit school uniform. MAJOR red flags. I wanted to run to the comments asap but I finished reading just to avoid spoilers, only to find out people are rooting for him????
also hate to be that guy but I'm so used to mls being like this, I was not phased at all by the ml.
but again youre totally right, that man is giving P3DO!! grown ass man having feelings for a (likely) high schooler. YUCK.
my brother in christ u have OCD
