He was 19 years old when they met, and in Korea, anything under 20 is a minor
Personally, I get icked out when I see anyone over 21 going after anyone under 20 bc I feel like 18-19 year olds are still going through a lot of transitions so they feel like highschoolers to me even if they're technically legal BUT it's interesting seeing people call him a pedo for going after a 19 year old while usually the comments are so quick to say that 18+ is fair game, or to not have any reservations the second a character is 18
I mean regardless, it's kind of irrelevant bc it's 6 years layer when they're both grown as adults at 25 and 30+, plus it's fiction, but it's an interesting observation
He wasn't 19 when he was his tutor if I remember correctly our guy is twenty when the story first starts and in college. And the doc is in his thirties. So there's potentially a 10 yr difference. The main guys friend said the doc was wrong for messing with a minor and tells him to tell the doc as his tutor to wait till he's 18 and when our guy tells him that he stops and leaves.
So he was a minor when he messed with him originally. They just didn't have sex. Or do much besides kissing. I think it was wrong and honestly I just choose to not think about it.
Y'all are forgetting its an omegaverse omegas completely lose their sense of reason or ability to deny when in heat and alphas completely turn into animals with one goal in mind, and ash REPEATEDLY tried to push Lyle away so that this exact same thing wouldn't happen and Ash, being an alpha who had to use disposable omegas for his ruts fully aware of what that encompassed INSISTED on going through this with him. Y'all are saying actions have consequences about ash but so do they with Lyle, he was being irresponsible too. Would this be okay or apply at all in the real world? No, because we aren't animals and don't go ballistic with heats and ruts irl, but since this is a work of fiction where they do, I'm not going to call ash a red flag or blame him for this, especially when Lyle himself isn't even remotely angry and even said he deriving a lot of pleasure from it even though he was scared. Lyle is fine and thinks so with no trauma or ill will towards Ash because he knew what he was getting himself into, so y'al need to stop slandering a character that has proven himself time and time again.
Or not ig, it is just fiction and it's not like his feelings are gonna be hurt lmfao










You feel like shit? Good, go grovel in it
