umm i don't think he submitted fast, coz like you said, it has been technically a fair bit of time since he was held captive. rather than "submitting too fast", its more like he reached his breaking point? i'm still at chapter 16 rn but i clearly see a form of stockholm syndrome developing.
as for his jae yeon's actions, since heesung clearly wasn't acting like he wanted, i feel like he's subconsciously (or not) mimicking the way the researchers treated him before, but with his own twist ig. and its pretty evident its working, especially with the help of that aid making heesung think in the direction that benefits jae yeon.
This manwha basically set itself high with manipulation, violence and drug use but forget about it for the sake of romance ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Yeah, he kinda flipped because he started to feel like he wasn't "trying his best". He said he was going to start doing all Hee Sung hates because it wasn't working how he wanted (the attempted murder with the book), then he had a chat with red head where he mentioned "doing your best" and child-brain Jae Yeon took that to where we are now where he's redoubling his efforts to do as Hee Sung wants because he wants Hee Sung to love him
Ohhhhh, okay! That makes a little more sense.
Hee Sung submitted so fast. I know technically it’s been months in the timeline but the use of drugs, the monitor injection in his chest and fear was used in the first few chapters and never used since. I kinda was looking forward to him being more broken through assertive means, not coddled with a dildo in his ass for hours and a few blowjobs.
My hopes were for Jae Yeon to be a more aggressive sociopath but he went back to just being a Hee Sung pleaser after he threatened him in the bath in chapter 10. Like Hee Sung raised his voice and cursed you out earlier on when he was being more resistant and Jae Yeon got angry,but getting hit in the head repeatedly with the edge of a book while you’re sleeping with the clear intent to murder wasn’t a tipping point? Hello?! I know logic in BL is a lot to ask but was way off the mark with how the story was initially set up.
I won’t stop reading though! I need to know how this train wreck ends. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
