Ok I understand what you meant. It wasn't addressed like what we have expected. But it wasn't suppose to be part of the main plot of the novel. It only serves to emphasize Lee Seodan's personality. And I would think author did a good job too sticking to this, because the novel was from POV of Lee Seodan's. It wasn't being touched on quite often as we thought. What broke him was not the SA specifically. It was the way people around him dismissed him and left him alone because he was gay, and how they allowed the SA case to let go.
I want to believe that ml at least has some inkling that mc was SA’d and deep down is trying to help him overcome his trauma
