Nah man, any sex that's coerced is rape. Just because Junseob is way too pridefull, lowkey stupid, and an asshole for the slurs and wanting to expose Seryeong's crossdressing, doesn't mean that he is suddenly giving blanket consent to sex, or that he should be punished via sex. Sex is only consentual if it's well informed, and there is nothing that could influence this decision, such as alcohol, or in this case, blackmail. Because yes, Seryeong used blackmail to force him into sex.
Let's break it down:
- would Junseob have said yes if Seryeong simply asked, without all the previous drama, and Junseob knew that he is a man? Clearly, the answer is "no".
- was Seryeong perfectly aware, that Junseob is in a situation where saying "no" would be very difficult for him? Obviously yes.
Junseob's shitty actions, and the rape are two separate issues. A person can be all kinds of trash, and in the end still be a rape victim if he is coerced/blackmailed/tricked into having sex.
Of course, this is just a webtoon and I don't give two fucks about Junseob, but in real life, this situation would be really concerning.
Junseob was the one who created the false rumor to which Seryeong simply asked to clear up. It was Junseob who proposed the relationship by stating that he'd do anything, to which Seryeong clarified the proposal to sexual favors (bj and possibly more). Take note that in doing so Seryeong is taking a major risk here by exposing his secret as a crossdresser. Junseob was the one who countered with slurs and blackmail. Junseob was also the one who'd rather suck dick than face the consequence of his actions. So..... I'm not counting Seryeong as a rapist, but I am counting Junseob as stupid. I just hope Junseob gets a reality check and better friends. Will read future chapters just to see how this all plays out.
