As I read it, I somehow want the story to be just a brother relationship thing not like romantic. yk? By how the story is building up, it feels like they are family. Like- the MC found a younger brother by heart. It will be wholesome. Shifting this into a romantic thing seems to be a bit weird to me, cause the MC treats the younger man as his brother, and the age gap is..., also it seems like the MC groomed the ML which is not the case of course but by thhe course of story, it seems like it lol. Idk if it's just me butt...yeah, I might drop this if the romantic part happens
Yea but I don't think it can be considered grooming, cause the MC never shows any romantic or sexual interest in the ML and just treats him like a kid brother. He's pretty adamant about it being that way and just helping him, whereas in irl cases of grooming, the perpetuator knows what they're doing and wait till the kid is 18 or whatever to make their move. It seems to be the ML here is the one going through puberty and the only uncomfortable thing is him forming some dependency on the older MC and mistaking the first person who helps him genuinely for a romantic interest.
This kind of older bottom meets younger top who ends up reversing the tables on them trope is everywhere in danmei. To me it feels like grooming if the older person is the rapey kind of top. But I do hope the ML here won't become the stereotypical crazy obsessive type of top either. This webtoon so far does a good job of building up their backstory. Totally had me there thinking the ML is the bottom in the beginning.
Ohh you're rightt, I guess I stretched it too much when I said it's grooming, and yeah it's not the appropriate term for that. They're kinda cutee. I really loved the backstory, I also thought the ML was the bottom at the beginning lol. It's just that, when I see the pov of the MC it's just seems like brothership to me. I get the feelings of the ML too but, I too sees the MC as little brother? HAHHAHAHA idk, tbh, I'm kinda torn about dropping this story. I guess I'll just follow the story. I can drop this when I wanted to and come back when I wanted to also
Ok now we need a side story of them having kids(≧∀≦)
