I think the absence of a father figure in Jiyun’s life made him more drawn to older men. His first love was actually one of his mother’s exes, and interestingly both he and his mother seem to have the same taste in men. I’m not entirely sure what caused Jiyun to develop this preference, but it could be that every man his mother dated gave him a glimpse of what having a father might feel like. However, because his mother’s romantic relationships were always uncertain and never lasted, that might have shaped the way Jiyun’s sexual orientation developed toward men, especially those who are older.
