Yeah I dont think you know what grooming means. Just cause they have a large age gap and the uncle knew him as a kid does not mean the uncle liked him when he was a kid. He did not try to have any sort of romantic or sexual relationship with Yeongwoon as a child. HE DID NOT LIKE HIM AS A KID. Idk why everyone is saying this. If anything, what he feels is guilt for willingly putting his family in debt and having to then pretend to be buddies with kid Yeongwoon when he knew Yeongwoon was being abused. He's trying to make himself feel better by sticking out for him now even though it's honestly too late. If he does have feelings for Yeongwoon, it's clearly when Yeongwoon was an ADULT which is FINE despite the large age gap. Y'all wanna label this man a predator so bad.

Raising someone and having sex with them makes you a groomer.
You're the type of person that would say that Woody Allen, who adopted a girl child and raised her, and then married her the second she became a legal adult definitely didn't groom her and isn't a groomer. I mean even though he raised her from the time that she was a child and he was her authority figure, so he was able to turn her into whatever he wanted her to be, he didn't actually marry her until she was 18. That means it's okay right?
Of course not. Of course that's not okay. That's not an age gap. That's grooming. A groomer waiting until you're 18 doesn't make them less of a groomer. A lot of groomers do that intentionally. They pick out children that are 15 16 and groom them until they're 18. This is common grooming behavior.
The only reason you were defending this is because you're into it, you're a groomer and want to normalize grooming. You think it's hot. You think it's really hot for you, an adult, to manipulate and twist a child with a brain that's not fully formed into your perfect willing partner who will do anything you say because they view you as an authority figure. There's literally no other reason why you would defend this when it's so obvious.

Girllll. Are you talking bout the last few panels from their past? You completelyyy misunderstood that scene if so. He went to collect payment from MC's dad. Instead, MC was there napping with a high fever, and that's when he saw the extent of the abuse that MC was facing with all those bruises on his body. He was feeling GUILT and sympathy for the MC, but he knows he couldn't and shouldn't be feeling like that because of the nature of their debtor-loaner relationship. "... because between us...not even a shred of sympathy was allowed to exist."
You were way off with all these groomer pdf accusations.

Forgot to add, if you reread this webtoon you'll see a few scenes from.the past where he had a feeling the MC wasn't being treated well at home. It was this specific scene from the latest chapter that really solidified and opened his eyes to the extent of the abuse MC was facing from his own dad. The large bruises, and the fact he was left alone when he has a high fever (when the panels change from the MC's face with the fever strip on his forehead, to the loaner unc staring at him with a swollen expression) all while his dad went to meet someone outside for fun.
For the life of me I don't understand how you could come to the conclusion that he was having ssxual or romantic thoughts in this scene.
Yeah this old loan shark needs to fuck right the fuck off.
He was a child. You have been obsessing over a child. He's a child who grew up around you when you were already old. This is grooming. You cannot meet someone as a child, develop feelings for them as a child, and then wait for them to grow up to bang them.
This gross old man is not a viable second ML.
