The MC has a boat load of trauma of his own and when it was pointed out he said his dad didn’t beat him, that he showed him tough love. So he already had unrealistic expectations of how love is supposed to be showed. Pair that with Seo was his safe place in his teen years. It makes sense that present time, MC is still developing feelings because he’s never had a healthy portrayal of love.
Same with Seo, it makes sense he is a little fucked in the head because of what happened to his bio family and the nightmare he lived in his teens, and I’m sure he is currently living in present time because of his mom.
I just know they will both use each other in order to heal from their pasts. And when they get together for realises it’ll be so cute. I know people don’t really like dynamics like this because they are unhealthy. But I feel like what better way to explore dynamics like this if not in fiction? I love nuanced characters/stories sm.
If anyone has anything similar to this, please recommend!!!!
