Yall what are we even comparing here. Seo-in is a serial rapist and sexual offender. It’s a fact. He is criminal. No sob back story is gonna change it.
Taegu didn’t do anything at this point. Beside showing up and getting too invested in MC’s life. Also you clearly have no idea what grooming is. We didn’t see one scene that would indicate grooming. Groomers don’t wait 10 years after someone became legal adult to „seduce them”. I’m not a fan of such dynamic at all but Taegu starting to have feelings, for someone he used to know in the past and helped in some way, once that person turned adult (we didn’t see one scene proving otherwise) is definitely less „creepy and abnormal” than federal offence which is rape. Or maybe thoughts are bigger crime than literal rape now? Thoughtcrime…. Orwell is definitely laughing from his grave.
And I don’t even ship MC with any of them.
