I came to the comments to see how everyone felt about the story so far because in kind of meh. Then I see everyone with grooming allegations and then I thought I completely missed something. So I go back to skim. Uju is 23. He was 17 in the flashback with his hyung. They never said how old the hyung is at this point. He couldn't have been necessarily a fully independent adult, IMO, being that his parent forced him to move to take care of his relative. Also, I wouldn't classify what he was doing with Uju grooming, as grooming is when a person builds a relationship with a child, young person or an adult who's at risk so they can abuse them and manipulate them into doing things. He never did any of that, at least it's now shown up until chapter 20. He was being nice and developed feelings, but he never overstepped with Uju in a sexual way and he didn't abuse him. He didn't even confess. Now don't get me wrong...I'm not attached to either LI. I was just confused on the comments and wanted to add my two cents. With that being said, I don't think I'll be finishing this one. It has such a solid premise too, but oh well.
