He seems to worry abt mc finding someone closer to his age once he gets older but tbh 38 is nawt that old, even after 15 years being together he'd still only be like 53 and even then still doesn't sound that old to me, i mean look at dilfs like Pedro Pascal, David tennant, lee dong wook lol they even still get simped on by younger ppl (me included) being over 50 doesn't automatically equate to grampa status, and as long as its real love
My theory is he set this curse on himself due to his disbelief and desperation for MC to stay alive in their first timeline, so even if mc may be the trigger- it is ml himself who unknowingly put himself in his situation, this is the only explanation that i can think of that makes his existing affection for him genuine, otherwise the feelings he has developed would come from a dark and twisted place bcs of his devastating situation that's not genuine which I don't like.










He goin on dates while he gets angry when he see somebody lurkin around him ouhh i hope he hooks up with somebody for his heat cus
