Ngl, what they have is everything that could go wrong with the "opposites attract" trope lol, but they made it work ig
Like, I won't lie, they started dating 6 month-ish since meeting each other...? And I feel it was more of a crush situation, their understanding of the other wasn't that deep.
Their values, ways of living and goals weren't perfectly lined at all, maybe even clashed, but maybe it's what they wanted/needed in their own lives (kinda, it'd be depressing to live like the ML and even himself feels wrong to make someone so humanitarian as MC to become manipulative, ig it's that warmth and empathy that drew him to MC to start with).
Idk what I'm rambling about, but irl don't copy this story, it'll drive a sane person to madness to be treated like MC when you are supposedly dating a mutually "affectionate" person. And I also get the ML in some of his POVs, so it's also a dive to suddenly change your habits for a burning sunshine in your hands. Irl this relationship could go so wrong from not expressing/listening/understanding your opposite, not to mention how abusive is to date your boss with all the office powerplay (luckily ML never means it and MC has the guts to keep using the line like a jumping rope)
