Yeah there's grape at the begging and that's the only scene if i remember well. Then the story progress for the best, though I'm not justifying the .
i started reading this forever ago so I forgot a lot (i do remember this scene though because i almost rated 5 stars but had to move to 4 because of it) but they nakwon really gets better i promise. the most recent chapters got me kicking my feet and giggling TT
like the other person said not justifying it, but they are fictional characters and even so he REALLY improves down the line.
i hate nakwon for the assaults and his shitty personality, too, and was hoping this wouldn't be a story that pardons his behavior or romanticizes SA. i am pleased to report my hopes were not in vain.
without getting into spoilers, just know this isn't a rapist's redemption story or whitewashing of his faults. the writer is very well aware of the fact that only a deeply troubled and self-respect lacking person (mokhwa) could come to love their tormentor.
just started this and i'm confused why this has such high ratings when nakwon rapes mokhwa twice in under 25 chapters. and there's still so much left.
