sorry noel but nah, ml waited 8 years time isnt what he wants nor is it something to protect him, its a cop out... he wasnt raped or sold into s** trafficking he was an adult and chose to use his body to pay out his mothers debt the story is is pathetic he decided to reconnect with the ml in the first place whose he protecting besides himself. the ml doesnt need protection he needs clarity and im sorry but they are too da** old for these thoughts. safe from what... whats the point of living if its not with the person the only person apparently that he loves. i dont care for the mc at all
