It’s 4 years
i know, as i explained, it's not exactly the age gap that bothers me. four years is okay, it's not that much, but as i said, it's the fact that they know each other since when uke was a minor. in the real world anyone with common sense would find it weird a 24-year-old to date a 20-year-old after having known them when they was only 16. it's fiction not the real world, i know, but it's still about principles. that's all. it was my wish that it weren't like this, the only thing i wish had been changed :)
Not really. My partner and I have a larger age gap and we met when I was 17. Neither of us considered each other as dating partners before I was 19. He has never been anything less than patient, respectful, and kind. Adults aren't automatically groomers. Teens are capable of meeting and forming appropriate relationships with people without it being a problem. Real relationships aren't so black and white.
I met one of my best friends when she was 15 and I was 18. I didn't start thinking she was hot until she was like 20 or so. Your perception of someone absolutely changes as they get older, and 3-4 years really isn't a lot in thr grand scheme of things. Relationships aren't static things that don't change after you meet someone. As people change, the nature of the relationship does too.
if I'm being honest, i wish the author hadn't included that age gap between them. i mean, the problem isn't the age gap itself but dohyun knowing wooyeon when he was still a minor. i understand that he wasn't interested in him when he was a minor, even because he was busy liking the other guy from omega complex, but still... aside from that, i like them and i think the story could have been much better if it weren't for that
obs: someone commented that it was only 4 years apart, but i already said that's not the problem, it's not the age gap itself, but dohyun knowing wooyeon since he was 16 years old. on the other hand, yes, I understand that dohyun didn't see him that way and, on top of that, was busy liking the guy who from omega complex (i forgot his name lol), but it still look weird... they call it predatory behavior, right? anyway, this is entirely the author's fault, i must say, there was no need to include that, it could have been changed without significantly altering the story itself
In the real world, everyone would find that weird, right? at least everyone with common sense. that doesn't mean that just because it's fiction, principles should be ignored
