Yepp it did take away any chance at substance with the scene. By itself I can appreciate and enjoy the scene but only if I seperate it from the plot. Overall I would have been happier if Seungjae had just cleaned Geumhwas injuries, comforted him a bit, promised to keep him safe or something to that end and just been there for him.
Reading through the comments I'm so glad so many people think the same as I do about the whole "enjoying being fucked after just getting raped thing". I've been reading yaoi for a couple yaers now so I'm used to the trope and it doesn't necessarily trigger me or bother me OVERLY much but it still is a tad annoying. I mean tbh I read yaoi because it's hot and sexy and while I like the smut I'm a bit of a perv and really appreciate the sex scenes more than everything. I do prefer a good story and a good plot, and many mangas and manhwas do offer both good plot and good sex but sometimes I think to myself if maybe I'm asking a bit too much(?). (Like with real live porn, no one actually watches it for the plot, though I get that porn and yaoi aren't the same). But anyway (I think i rambled a little) yeah, the whole "get raped than fucked" trope does get old. I wanted Geunhwa and Seungjae to fuck but it sucks that it was done this way. I would have rather waited for a two or three chapters more if it would have meant it getting done more tastefully, more naturally. But tbh the sex scene between Geumhwa and Seungjae (the scene by itself without thinking of the plot) was yumm.
