grown on
Became fond of
Grown on describes something that has gradually become more appealing through repeated exposure.
A food, song, or person that initially left you indifferent or even put off can grow on you over time: I didn't like the album at first, but it's really grown on me.
The phrase suggests appreciation developing slowly rather than striking immediately.
