What did i said? Did he leave? Did he not leaving a vague trail for her while having a chance off being free anytime? Hes the ML if hes gonna be a man for this woman then have some wake up call that theres thousand better man for her. If he wanted to stay then stay, don't give an empty romantic eye stare and while doing it hiding behind a 'butler-master' relationship and acting like he owns her ass. Did i perhaps not clear enough?
See the thing is with this statement youāre implying that the female lead is too good for the ml, something you also said in your original comment saying heās not ādeservingā of her. I just think itās interesting that you consider a victim below his (former) abuser. Also for him acting like he āowns her assā, the female lead quite literally owns his so your problem with it is quite hypocritical since you seem to have no problem with her. Most of all, you seem to be annoyed with how heās not entirely direct with emotions, an amusing thing to be upset about considering that heās both a slave with no power and a traumatized abuse victim. But of course, the truth behind his apprehension is that heās just not āman enoughā for the female lead.
On another note the second lead is unnecessarily obsessive over the female lead too, he also acts as if he āowns her ass.ā Yet interestingly enough, his behavior doesnāt spark enough alarm bells for you as compared to the male lead who actually is close enough to her to actually warrant such behavior.
And as usual, another unnecessary 2nd ml was added for unnecessary drama
