If it's rape for DG, he wouldn't be able to let it go, right after Jiwon agreed to have a date with him you see that he returned to being his bubky self. If that's what the MC thinks then who are we as readers to say and insist that it's rape? As long as the MC didn't think of it and actually enjoyed it and used it as a way to get what he wants, it won't be rape.
I think the issue in this manhwa is how he treated DG badly all the time they were together just because he has a trauma when it comes to being in a relationship.

That's not how rape works, dear. At least acknowledge it's rape in the story's universe and move on. There's nothing wrong with appreciating work with rape in it. It's when you sugarcoat it that it becomes problematic.
