People pls stop exaggerating so much.
1. Hyoun does not have a child's mind at this point. He's already been with Taehyuk for 10 years. He's more like late teens. Even then, human age doesn't even really apply to him when he can literally skip aging as he pleases.
2. He's not acting like a child right now. He's acting like a virgin. He's literally someone who has zero knowledge or experience with sex education. Someone like that is gonna act like this. Him also being a dragon that experiences rut like an animal does only adds to the complication.
3. It was never a father-son relationship. You only saw that because of Hyoun appearing like a child before. Taehyuk has never called Hyoun his son. Although yes, he did say he feels like a parent, that's only natural when you raise someone for so long. Even then, he always refers to himself as Hyoun's guardian, never a stepfather. And Hyoun never viewed Taehyuk as his father. He only viewed Taehyuk as his most beloved and most trustworthy human, which steadily developed into romantic feelings.
Sometimes I feel like we're reading different manhwas.
