I think the problem one is mc known ml since the child, so it feels kinda weird for the mc
True!!! And who won’t hesitate to date someone you see as a little brother since they were kids? It’s much better like this with MC being hesitant and confirming that he actually had feelings for ML
Ikr, tbh this is rare that someone actually hesitate so much like this, mostly what I've read they literally not minding about grew up together with the age gap
8 years gap is fine for adults that met as strangers. What makes mc hesitant is coz he’s been seeing puruem since child to adult. So it makes sense why he hesitated and didnt feel any connection at first.
It be weirder of 8 years gap WHILE knowing the other party during childhood to adults. That just screams predatory.
as frustrating as he is i actually like that he's very very hesitant with dating someone as young as pureum likeee this might be fiction but girls an 8 yr age gap is HUGE even if they're both adults yadayada there's a big difference in where they are in life and maturity level etc etc
tbh i would have hated this a little if the age gap is treated like it's non existent/for kinky dirty talk purposes only which is what happens to other dynamics like this let's be real
