this is why u have to keep reading and look for more context because they are no way in hell related to eachother (the way some of u make it sound) bc if u actually dive deeper into the themes of the story instead of just looking at surface-level dialogue and assuming that their actually uncle/nephew bc MC's mom says they are, then you'd realize that the MC is the son of a drunkard gangster and a rich woman who so happens to be the sole daughter of a lady that re-married to the ML's father.. MC's mom simply introduced MC as her "son" (whom's life she was never present in) as the ML's nephew to try and curry-favor ML into taking him in for a shortwhile.
they aren't even family, it's more like an agreement upon certain people to portray themselves as a "family" for conglomerate appearances. that's how it is with generational chaebols.
