no cause clock it peoples priorities are all over the place like didn’t seoin assault yeongwoon on several occasions?? look yeah personally im a bit iffy about the whole “I developed feelings after he became an adult,” never liked that trope, think its weird cause it’s a one-way street of taking advantage of your shared history with them when they were children but it’s not grooming
There's lots of people in these comments jumping the gun and claiming pedophilia or predation. Hold your horses and read carefully. With the way this chapter ended it's shown that all Taegu felt for Yeon was sympathy for his suffering until that changed. We don't know at what point that sympathy became romantic because we still don't have the full story. There's lots of time between 16-25 where Taegu could've developed feelings. Until we know the timeline it's too soon to call him a pedophile or predator.
For all we know he could've developed feelings after Yeon became an adult. Plus for him to be a predator or groomer he would've had to purposely to "train", isolate, and make moves on Yeon while he was vulnerable all with the intent of being in a relationship together. None of those actions have been demonstrated to us as readers so calling him a pedophile and the like are baseless accusations.
Also ain't it crazy how quickly some of ya'll are too drop a story for even the potential of grooming but have no problem sticking around after rape and sexual assault??
It's giving "I can excuse rape but I draw the line at pedophilia" like huh?? That's actually wild.
TLDR: WAIT until we have the whole story and timeline of when Taegu developed feeling for Yeon before calling him a predator and dropping the story.
