Also, by "possessive", I meant in a healthy way, you know "when your other half gets jealous and protective but also gives you your space" kind of possessive. Anything can become toxic if it's too much to the other person. That's why the only toxic characters here are Hanbin and Yang Ji-hyo. If an understanding, protective and loving guy like Raejun falls in love with a woman older than him (and she happens to be his teacher), then what's wrong? I agree that it becomes too much if they openly/ secretly start dating atp. But with how the story is pacing and how the Author has written, I don't think Woori will let Raejun's feelings for her overwhelm her. Woori wanted to he a writer before she decided to become a teacher(due to her parents' influence) and I think Raejun's gonna fully support her in the future just like Woori is supporting him (this time she won't give Raejun options like she did in the beginning of the story, like when she kinda influenced him to transfer into Arts department from Humanities based on their bets). Also, it's been just a while that Woori started teaching in Raejun's school (may be a few months or so) since it's mentioned in the story that she just got recommended by Raejun's mother for a permanent post.
The problem in this relationship is Raejun. He's pushing Woori and it's understandable because don't most of the people do it out of love? But then again, it's not that problematic because so far, he's not going out of control. For a teenager at that rebellious age, he's pretty much mature. And when he said "I won't sit back if he's the one who makes you cry" in the latest Ch.56, he meant it as a man, not as a boy. Men are always possessive of their girlfriends/ the women they love. And the fact that Raejun is not applying to any Korean Arts University because he doesn't want to get selected solely based on his popularity (and his mother) speaks volumes. Personally, that's so mature for me!! I also deeply respect Woori for building up the walls between her and Raejun and also speaking up for herself against Hanbin trash. (Wait till you guys read the next 4 chapters). Idk why many people find this disturbing. Is it because it's set on school life. But, this kind of stories are coming-of-age. People were praising and giving love to such dramas like "Meet me after School" which I found disturbing. I mean the teacher was literally dating, kissing, hugging with the student and the plot is quite similar too, like how Raejun is pushing Woori.
For people who find this webtoon disturbing, PLEASE DON'T EVER COME BACK TO READ THIS AGAIN!! Also, please don't recommend this to your friends as well, if you wanna protect them from such disturbing content.
Thank you.
