Very nicely said. I personally feel that Muheun didn’t really consider it in a romantic way until Seungjoo kissed him that day for new year’s. I’m still a bit confused about their one night stand myself. Considering the behaviour we’ve seen from them both in this story it feels a bit OOC that they got drunk and slept together just like that. I wish we would actually see a flashback of that night to make it clear what happened and how.
When MC was born there was a connection between MC and ML that ML felt and saw. Like a universe thing that showed ML he would watch MC grow up and filled him with a strong sense of protection, similar to a guardian person/spirit. If you visions of the future of a person you will probably feel drawn to them, kinda lest destiny. They also grew to close so naturally they would have some kind of relationship. When MC’s sister died ML was filled with both guilt and fear that made him even more over protective of MC and even more scare to lose him. He decided he would watch over him and keep him safe while ML lived a normal life. Then MC grew up and started to get to know other people and ML could not fully let him go realized the connection would always be there and that being apart would be extremely painful.
When MC grew up ML was a natural part of his life, after his sister died they became even more like family. MC developed adoration and eventually affection from ML for taking care of him, possible like having a crush on someone older because they seem cool in their eyes.
ML had always seen and treated MC like a kid. Until MC confessed, which also strengthened the feeling within ML that they were connected to each other through fate/the universe/whatever gave him the visions in the first place. ML opens up to MC, but MC is exposed to danger and ML prioritizes MC being safe and alive over them being together. Nonetheless, MC is now part of the other world now even if he doesn’t interact with ML so the best thing right now would probably be for them to be close again.
Regarding the beginning where it was implied/hinted at that they went all the way we actually don’t know if they did. They haven’t talked about it in detail, MC doesn’t seem to remember everything, not have they done it ”again”. Although I do understand if it doesn’t matter to some people how far they went and that it is the fact that something happened that people are not comfortable with, which of course is okay. I’m also willing to be proven wrong on this point if we get some sort of evidence in the future.
I understand that the age gap can be seen as sketchy and uncomfortable, especially since MC is just around legal, but it’s important to understand that ML has NOT been lusting over MC since he was a child, nor did he have some kind of plan to wait until MC became legal to make a move on him. MC initiated something further in their relationship and whether ML should’ve rejected him or not is something people can debate (I already explained my thoughts about ML’s approach. Basically is not the PDF some if yall choose to assume he is because of lack of understanding. Thank you.
