hmm are there actual romance between the two? i mean, it's too early to tell really and the description even refer the guy as the 'guardian'. it's more fitting if it's familial love
actually, I'm even betting it's familial love. The girl has no reliable role model to rely on (hence her abandonment issues) at this point and it would just skip a whoooole lot of issues if she just suddenly became fit to love someone romantically
considering how character-centric this manhwa is (delving on FL's thought process and first POV details such as avoiding eye contact, passively accepting bs) so far in chapter 1, i think we would first see some gradual development or some kind of healing of their issues. 'Cuz y'know, what i think the whole plot of this manhwa. Abuse recovery and all those exciting stuff
(so yea man don't think about the goddamn age gap first and love bs cmon. but then again there's the romance tag... 🤔 ugh i hope not ughh)
anywayyys i guess we'll see
