you describe it really clear and for some reason some readers are still blaming the victim for not going by themselves （/TДT)/
That’s why I feel so bad for Haewon I don’t blame him for not being able to get out of there, he has no one else. But I do hope he finds happiness in the end and that Haeyoung suffers just as much as Haewon did
Exactly. It's sad because if in real life, someone in their surroundings finds themselves in this situation, I dare not imagine how much their words will hurt them even more and isolate them.
Please people, never blame a victim. Don't judge. There are a lot of things we don't know and cannot understand. Try to be supportive and give love and understanding. Words can hurt more than we think.
I hate this story but I think the author did a good job with MC's sink into hell.
MC seems to have no family. No friends other than these 3. He becomes dependent on Seo Haeyoung financially and emotionally. Without him, he would have nothing. Seo Haeyoung has gradually broken down all of MC's barriers by putting him down, manipulating him, blackmailing him. Like a narcissistic pervert. We don't realize it right away. It happens slowly over months or even years. That's why when everything breaks, when the limit is crossed, we can't leave. We've been told enough that we are stupid, useless and that we could never live without them. We believe it now. And with each chapter, the physical and psychological violence goes up a bit and MC's depression becomes deeper and deeper. It's what happened in real life for so many people without our knowledge. In the end, there aren't many options left. Suicide, being killed by our torturer, or having someone who truly loves us force us out of there. For MC who has no one, I can see only 2 futures ╥﹏╥
