"Senpai–Kōhai" Dynamic
Hugh (he/him) and Malcolm (he/him) have the Senpai–Kōhai dynamic. The Senpai-Kōhai dynamic in a relationship is a fascinating interplay of mentorship, respect, and admiration.

In a romantic context, this dynamic adds a unique layer of depth and complexity. The senpai offers wisdom, experience, and guidance, nurturing the growth and development of their kōhai.
