I read a review from someone who has read this novel. They said that the romantic relationship between the two characters wasn’t very convincing. in short, it lacked chemistry. It might be due to the age gap between them.
I’m going to quote exactly what they said.

"Even though ML was not reciprocating his affection-starved love, MC still insisted on being with him even though he himself was also insecure. And ML on the other hand always acted like MC was like his child; someone you didn't really choose to be with but you had the responsibility of taking care of. He was too considerate of MC, if that makes sense. Feeling guilty that MC was much younger than him, he always acted like the responsible adult and drawing the line between the two of them, but that ended up not actually considering MC who was emotionally starved and clearly wanted some affirmation whether it'd be verbal or physical."

"It's not a bad novel, but I was never convinced by any love between the two even at the end of the story. Or at least, it wasn't what I was looking for. I understand it was how the author wanted to handle a big age gap but it just felt burdensome."
