It's so freaking funny and cute how he's adjusting so well in the countryside living also that gansta grandma is so much like my grandma (sadly i wasn't able to grow earlier to feel her (tough) love, i only have stories about her)
I guess people who suffered neglect just can't accept help so easily. They skated through life alone just fine and every obstacle they faced themselves just made it harder to rely on others for help when they've never had anyone helping them when they needed it the most.
I was always shounen ai but damn that horse d got me wishing this was yaoi
