i wouldnt say there stuck in the past but events from the past shaped where they are now so obvi it was traumatic in some way one stopped doing judo and the other lost his first love to a misunderstanding and then his brother feeling alone. So his issue is abandonment yet both liked each other so yeah both harbor feelings of like and frustration for the other. He did manipulate the situation for his own good doesnt mean UKe didnt have a chose to stay or go he Chose to go despite still getting his old job back. Its rocky but so far i havent seen rape lol doesnt mean its good what hes doing but so far dont see nothing wrong i mean uke didnt punch him to and slap him lmao
i agree buuut ALL the sexual scenes so far made me uncomfortable. but yes, i said seoin is still stuck in the past because of how much he's chasing after MC's past self; i understand he wants the affection and attention he used to receive in the past and so does MC, but seoin's personality is very choleric and he doesn't shy away from using force to get what he wants... mix that with the like and frustration he feels as you mentioned in your comment and you get something incredibly nasty. MC is normal compared to seoin LOL so he doesn't act on his impulses without so much of a thought. flashback to seoin's disturbing thoughts when he was asked by an interviewer about his first love...
Seoin manipulating MC, who would've guessed. he's just so unhinged, abusing his power, sexually assaulting MC... still stuck in the past and thinking he still has a chance, DAWG. it's been years.... get over it.
