High schooler + adult = weird but oddly not that icky

Short and weird.
A high schooler (freshman!) pretends to be her older sister at a arranged marriage meeting with the grandson of her dad’s boss’s boss. (Maybe more bosses)
he insults her she retaliated and he does the “no one ever treated me that way before” trope.
She apparently can’t call it off unless she says she loves him (like I said weird).
they end up being “friends” (no benefits but she does kiss him once) and there’s obvious feelings,
His grandad makes him poor (apparently granddad was supposed to think she was her sister)…she cooks dinner for him and studies in his apartment. and her parents are fine with it.
The secret of their relationship gets out caused by the villain & they both decide to sacrifice them selves for the other as well as canceling the agreement
But granddad basics said ya’ll make a good couple what happens next is up to you. And then says things will get interesting (he’s gonna go after the villain) and does several “is he quite sane” laughs.
They basically have bother confess they love each other but go back to teasing each other.
Normally with this type of age gap drama there’s a time skip until the young person is at least legal or out of HS. Not here.
It’s very weird especially the part about her parents being ok with her being alone with him at his apartment. It’s obvious that the society wouldn’t support such a relationship (she dreams he gets arrested for their relationship) but it persists.
It’s very weird but it’s not as icky as you might think cause he doesn’t show her much affection beyond older brother teasing. (She instigates the only kiss)
Would I recommend this to anyone? Absolutely not.
Would I rewatch again. Again nope.
