Based on the little flashback it seems like after he confessed to Gyeol back in college, he introduced him to bdsm, turned him into a sub then fucked off overseas. Seems like since then he’s been wanting a ‘master’ he can control (as in one who wouldn’t leave him like Gyeol did)
That's awful, I feel so bad for the uke
wow…
that is so fcking awful... I feel so bad for him
If this turns out true, I fucking wish gyeol hell
the fact that ML is in therapy in the beginning of the story is very telling, and now we know why. Also I'm really glad that for once therapy actually exists in a yaoi story because..boy do they both need it!!! I hope S2 gives us the professor's backstory because I'm dying to know what he's been through.. there's always some deeply rooted issue/trauma with people like him. I also feel like he speaks and acts the opposite of what he actually feels, which is so concerning and dangerous.. he exhibits self-destructive behavior. He was raped without giving a signal, and you could clearly tell he was actually scared in the bathroom... but it appears he lies and says he liked it. so I'm really curious about his past tbh, and why he desires to be "ruined"... I have to say tho, that this is quite well written overall.
