I might be misremembering but they aren't even step, they are half siblings (Cuz they said she is illegitimate and couldn't ignore her cuz of her power I think...)
I'm also team Abel though. He's so genuinely sweet and kind from the start, not judging her at all and basing his actions on his observations and not what others say about her :')
Oh, so they do share blood!? Σ( ￣□￣||) Okay, ew, DUDE NOO, good thing she didn't choose him.
And secondly, RIGHT!?, He's a sweetheart! ╥﹏╥ （/TДT)/ It melts my heart with tenderness, Is it too much to ask that he be ML? Oh, there isn't one?
I need to get this off my chest.
Honestly, I don't care about the gender of the stepbrother falling in love. (If they're not actually siblings, that's fine.) ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Typical cliché.
But I really dislike this guy, I hate himヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ He's such a jerk, he mistreated her, hurt her, belittled her, and her stepfathers and stepmothers too, and he did nothing, minimizing her pain, and he says he's in love with her?... Oh, fuck you, sir. (╬⊙U⊙)凸
It's good that she rejected him. I was worried he was (ML). （/TДT)/
(because I always have the bad luck of the main character ending up with the guy I hate.(￣A￣"""))
But thank God he wasn't!! YES! I don't care if he's handsome, screw him. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I like Abel better. QHQ I know he's innocent and silly, but he's a sweetheart. I've already fallen for him TTATT
But I doubt he's (ML) ╥﹏╥ (I'm weak for people with hearts of gold)
