You know, when you have traumatic incidents as a child, in many cases, the child will stop maturing at that age mentally. (If it's a single incident and not a prolonged case of abuse.) Knowlege-wise, they may grow and learn and also grow physically, but emotionally, they'll be stunted. My mother is like that. Her father abandoning the family for another one he created under their nose was really traumatic for her. She was 13. Unfortunately, she went the bad route. She became promiscuous, angry, blamed her mom, was an abusive parent herself, and just was a mean person. And she throws tantrums like a 13 year old. She also has the patience of one, which is to say it's non-existent.
The uke here was abandoned when he was very young. Abandonment issues and the emotional dependency of a child barely out of the toddler stage can create someone like this. He never asks for anything, is a doormat, seems innocent and happy, and will do anything to make sure someone they care about doesn't leave. It's extremely sad. He needs someone to spoil him and allow him to cry and be selfish. I hope Taeseo will do this, but he seems a little disinterested beyond the physical relationship. So far, at least.
