I think it's an interesting narrative that speaks more to the people calling this pedophilic that they think someone treating another person nice means they're attracted to them/trying to get something from them. That's a them issue, and has nothing to do with the drama itself since it's clearly portrayed that there's a shift between DJX and SZ after she goes to college.
I absolutely love how as soon as DJX realized he had feelings for SZ, he went with it. No back and forth, no drama, just cute and caring. These two have my heart
