pseudoincest
Honey. They are adopted brothers. So they are still brothers. So it's 100% gross.
Imagine living all their life as brothers and treating each other like family only to develop romantic feelings that too in a creepy way. It wouldn't be that hateful if from the begging they're just brothers on papers without treating eachother as such and if they didn't emphasize the "brother" and being "family" over and over again.
This should be the correct term since they're not blood related
Being blood related would only make it worse genetically, meaning...if they were able to conceive a child together. They can't. It's also like saying your adopted family isn't your real family.
Lol how come some readers talk about incest here...? I dont see any incest in this story...if u dont understand what incest is you better grab a dictionary to lighten your mind...a qi and ai yu are not related by blood though..so where is the incest thier?
