I've finished the novel, and yes, as everyone is saying it's just brutal suffering and abuse for the majority of the story. There's a gang rape scene coming up, and gang rape again happens later on. It does go into both character's pasts and explain their history together, and it explains why Juyeon tortures and abuses Jiwook. Jiwook does escape from Juyeon but it's VERY brief, and Jiwook receives extreme abuse as a result.
By the end, it's mostly Stockholm syndrome and Jiwook has been conditioned to depend on and need Juyeon. Juyeon successfully isolates Jiwook from his friends and everyone he knows and have his 'world' mostly revolve around him. Jiwook experiences episodes of PTSD and auditory hallucinations from his trauma of getting gang raped + abused (and he attempts to take his life a multiple times) which he and Juyeon agree for him to start having therapy sessions. But that's basically how it ends, after all the extreme and intense torture and abuse, it's just Stockholm syndrome and conditioned psychological responses (e.g., Jiwook's conditioned masochism tendencies)

    He did.

    More spoilers !! ::

    Juyeon and Jiwook used to be friends but from very different cliques (Jiwook's clique being bullies/rebels). Juyeon immersed himself in Jiwook's clique and got closer to Jiwook. One night, Juyeon got really drunk at a party and confessed his feelings to Jiwook. Jiwook obviously liked him back also, but couldn't accept his feelings for another man, nor accept a man's feelings for him. Hence, he started bullying Juyeon; coercing him into sexual acts and blackmailing him with the photos/videos (which he had done to many girls in the past). He then tricks/corners Juyeon to meet him in the gymnasium I think it was? Where he and his friends gang-rape Juyeon.
