Mc is a 23 year old guy and the ml is a 40 year old perverted old man. Ml is kinda a yellow flag? He's forceful and doesn't read that mc's True feelings always assuming stuff. Ml is possessive but spoiled the mc, I guess ml is a childish when it comes to mc and he's a bit hopeless romantic towards MC... Idk
Mc is an adult just scrawny bc he's not fed very well, he's always treated terribly until the ml gets interested in him. Suddenly he gets fixated on the mc and how he basically wants to be like husband and wife , he can be forceful and oblivious to mcs feelings but he's not abusive towards him, he says multiple times they're equal it's just mc that can't actually bring himself to say what he actually thinks because he's afraid (rightfully so because that's a gang leader) it's kinda morally grey as a story? Depends how it proceeds

is this worth reading? is the ml a red flag? the cover made the mc look like a child ngl so i was debating whether to start or if its not my cup of tea
