Man I agree with you, their past is just icky, but the author is too focused on having them fuck instead of developing their relationship, that hojae ends up as a considerably better lead....I really hope your prediction doesn't come true (even tho I fear that's wat the author will end up doing) and hojae gets his peaceful spin off or something
This is one of the rare occasions where I am actively rooting for the 2nd lead love interest, and it’s painful knowing that the relationship that’s tip-toeing the lines of being incest has a 99% chance of winning in this story. I predict that the author will paint Hojae in a light that makes him just as obsessive and controlling over MC as the step brother currently is, whether that’s through assault (which it probably will be) or some other form of confinement, that will then cause the odd behavior from the step brother seem heroic/ right, ultimately making Hojae irredeemable and solidifying his place as a friend. At first I was trying to follow along with the step-sibling thingy (which feels unpleasant to even admit) and give them the benefit of the doubt, but the more lore we uncover about their upbringing, the more I feel like MC was very much groomed by his step brother, and that gives me the ick.
