Honestly, a boy having his own decision to like someone is not grooming. She basically supported him yet here we go with these commenters with the grooming. You read it on the first place. If you don't like the plot go and read something else. She didn't even touch nor made advances towards the child. The child just decided to have a crush on her because she was a nice person (how crushes naturally works). For people saying a pedophile or grooming protector. Ok tell me if there isn't a couple you know that doesn't have an age gap? And all romantic stuff isn't even shown yet but urgh blood boils. If a kid has a crush and the grown up doesn't. It is not grooming. Get your facts straight. If a boy confessed to you who you've known since they were a kid doesn't make you a groomer. But I bet they'd still go on and on about yes you must've been one of those protector for pedo and groomers. Honestly, these people must've been so brainwashed by society. So what do you call a child who already knew the age gap but still pushes his feelings towards the older person?
