PSA- unc isn't a groomer. Or a pdf.

PSA because I’m honestly fed up. People keep throwing around words like groomer and pedo when talking about the loaner uncle, and completely misinterpreting the flashback scene. So let’s clear this up.

Right before the flashback, there’s a really important detail people seem to be ignoring. The loaner uncle is in the car, talking with his driver. The driver asks him, “Why now? It’s been over ten years, why step in?” And that’s exactly what leads into the flashback we, as readers, see. It’s not random. It’s showing us why he’s finally choosing to act.

In the flashback, the loaner uncle had gone to collect payment from the MC’s dad. Instead, he found the MC alone in the house, trying to sleep off a high fever, with a fever patch on his forehead. That’s when he really saw the extent of the abuse. Bruises all over his body, with no one around to care for him. Just a sick child, completely neglected, while his dad was off meeting someone for fun. The loaner uncle felt guilt and sympathy, but also knew he wasn’t supposed to feel that way because of the nature of their debtor-loaner relationship. That’s why he said, “...because between us… not even a shred of sympathy was allowed to exist.”

If you reread the webtoon, you’ll notice there were hints earlier that he suspected something wasn’t right at home. But this moment is when it fully sank in. When the panel shifts from the MC’s flushed, fevered face to the uncle silently staring at him with that solemn expression, it’s clear MC's reality hit him hard.

This scene is not romantic. It’s not sexual. It’s not grooming. It’s a fucking turning point, for him as a character, and for us as the readers. It shows why the loaner is stepping in now. He wants to finally do something right. He wants to protect the MC.

And now, he wants to protect the MC from the ML and his family, because he knows the MC is going to get hurt all over again.

Seriously, people need to stop tossing around words like groomer and pedo without actually reading what’s on the page. It’s exhausting watching people jump 1000 meters in the completely wrong direction based on one scene they didn’t even take the time to understand.

    Say it louderrrrrr!!! Honestly I think they have zero reading comprehension. Just take the story w a grain of salt and no need to over think everything. Unc DID NOT lay a hand on YW at all when he was young. And if he did have romantic feelings now (which is not confirmed) it could’ve been brotherly love, YG is matured now and the age gap is ok.

    Well I wouldn’t say all that…I don’t think their relationship is romantic but if it was it would not in fact be okay..being w someone you knew as a middle schooler is weird asf like mad weird.
