Honestly, I agree with you on this. I found the story(especially in the middle part) to be a bit toxic. I mean, why is the seme so possessive and why is the uke still his friend. I also didn't like how they made up: the seme literally treated the uke like shit and the uke just forgave him. Idk, I didn't like that :///.
Well...in my perspective I feel as if it's like if you have feelings for someone you can't stay friends with them anymore cause romantic feeling and the the feeling we have for friends is different.So I guess the seme just wanted to protect himself from the pain of acting as if we are friends even after rejection which apparently is harder than not confessing and having a secret crush so I feel it's more of protecting himself from the pain of pretending than a threat...but if Eunho still wanted the seme after rejecting him it's a little selfish on his part because he isn't caring about the seme's feeling but it also kinda shows that he also has some feelings for him and that's why he doesn't want to let go of their relationship...So in that sense I guess it's consensual and threat at the same time
this was… interesting… i know it was technically consensual but it felt like the seme coerced the ike into doing a lot of things with him. i mean he literally said he’s not gonna be his friend if he doesn’t date him, it’s just very manipulative from my perspective. however, i can tell that a lot of you interpret it differently so maybe it’s just me!!
