Can we address the elephant in the room where his first love was a child and he was 25!

Seriously, when Yuri said that, “first love” wasn’t the kind of first love we usually think of. It was something much purer. There wasn’t even the slightest hint of lust when Yuri said it, unlike that predator. Please don’t compare Yuri’s character to how people would think in the real world. He genuinely only exists within the story, and a character like him simply isn’t written that way. In real life, someone Yuri’s age would obviously have very different boundaries and concerns, but Yuri isn’t written like that. He’s genuinely one of the most beautiful characters Yuuji-nim has ever written.
