We're all aware that in the future they're looking for Hyo-un's soulmate right? And this backstory pretty much confirmed that it's Taehyuk. Well, what if this connection, this bond Hyo-un feels isn't one-sided? Soulmate implies that both parties involved is connected right to the soul. I have a feeling this is the deciding factor on how Taehyuk will give in despite his morals preventing him. Everybody's been so focused (including me) with the fact that mc raised the ml, and if being a dragon therefore unconfined with human rules makes it right for them to be in a relationship. I was on team idontcare lol cuz I'm more concerned with Taehyuk being likely to get forced into a relationship than Hyo-un who's only disadvantage is his age (?).
But now I remember the reason all these discourse might be worthless anyway. They're soulmates. I've read countless soulmate stories and one thing authors love to put into it is the conflict of your soulmate being someone you shouldn't love. From enemies, different races, age or era. There's always a reason why they shouldn't be together, and yet they always do. Cuz it's fate, or it's their choice or it can't be changed. That's what's causing Taehyuk to also hesitate in rejecting Hyo-un. It's unconscious, but their meeting already established this inevitable connection that will affect every decision he makes and ensure they'll stay together as destined.
