it gets on my nerves when people consuming asian media take "ni-chan" or "hyung" seriously when they should know by now that theyre honorary terms and should stop disrespecting it by making it seem weird or morally wrong when its just our culture
exactly yes
let's state some facts ok I'll make it easy;
Vampire :
Age = 17/18
Parents dead, no home no family no trustworthy relatives
Has a crush on the hyung
Currently living with the hyung
Hyung :
Age= 25 or 28 can't remember but he's older yes
Lives alone, works in a company owned by vampires
Has no crush no romantic interest or sexual interest n the vampire but feels affection enough to let him stay
HE IS STRAIGHT
Conclusion:
No they don't have pseudo family bounds no father/son or brother/hyung relationship (NO CALLING HIM HYUNG DOES NOT MEAN LITERAL BROTHER)
No they're not in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship it's literally not possible
No you're not a bad person for reading this fictional set up
And yes ppl at that age in rl do have crushes on older ppl too that doesn't make the older one a predator ok as long as they don't indulge or groom anyone so in this case IN THIS FICTIONAL ONE there's none of that either
the author is hinting at a time skip and if you still feel uncomfortable with the age gap after he turns out to be 20+ than that's a you problem just move on
We're literally 15+ chapters into this story and some of you still can't stop whining
