"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. Rooted in Japanese culture, this dynamic involves a hierarchical relationship where the senpai, or senior, guides and supports the kōhai, or junior, in various aspects of life. 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. Meanwhile, the kōhai looks up to their senpai with admiration and respect, cherishing the wisdom and mentorship they receive. In this relationship, Hugh (who is older than Malcolm) acts as the Senpai as he is always guiding Malcolm through life. Malcolm has high respect and admiration for his partner and will do almost anything to impress him. The two of them always help each other grow in new ways.
