Root for their happiness, not your personal politics. So many weird people in the comments wanting an abortion. If you truly understand the story, you’ll know that the only thing that made Geonwu not want to keep the baby is his concern for Taejun’s career and future. That’s not a good reason. It should be about what Geonwu wants for himself.
What readers should be rooting for is for Geonwu to decide what he wants to do for his own good, not Taejun’s. And we know he loves Taejun, so we can infer that Geonwu would have wanted to keep the baby under better circumstances. Better circumstances = Taejun loving him too and choosing to raise the baby together. Which we know as readers that Taejun does love Geonwu, but Taejun hasn’t fully realized it yet.
So that’s what we should be rooting for: his happiness. Their happiness. Not your personal abortion (pro-life/pro-choice) politics.
Reading stories should make you reflect on perspectives and experiences beyond your own and become wiser, not self-insert and project your personal beliefs onto every situation.
