I love how our mc is not following the typical troupe of falling in love with the child he took care of prev. I mean, thats kinda,, pedo ngl ( ̄∇ ̄")

Hmm if he fell in love with him as an adult... how is that pedo just because he meet him when he was a kid? It seems he was not in love with him as a kid. That is not what a pedo is. They have to be sexually interested in kids below the age of 13.
So Even if he was in love with him as a kid, which does not mean sexually interested, the romantic relationship happen after he was an adult and cancels out pedo.
Meeting someone as a kid and then after 18 they have a relationship is not pedo. Think about how many best friends dates/marries their best friend’s sister/brother as both adults when they meet them as a kid. :-/
For a clumsy SS grade agent, Candy actually succeed his mission in seducing him (and not just physically at tht) . And next we’re gonna have to face the ‘you betrayed me’ drama.
