I think that the author has also done a good job of writing the undertone of nakyum being low class and low power, so he can't be "mad" at seungho because he's a lord, y'know? That's not how it works. I'm interested to see how the author crosses the class barrier in Seungho's redemption (which I really hope he has).
Nakyum was abandoned as an infant at a kisaeng (brothel). He was raised there, without the love and embrace of his parents upon his upbringing. And the only kindness he knew of was that shown by the teacher. Therefore Nakyum came to feel grateful to him, adore him and yearn for his affection, and thus he feel obligated to protect him, to do his biddings, so that in turn he could earn the teacher’s affection. Also it’s because he’s young and naive, so he wouldn’t see that the fake teacher shows him kindness merely to take advantage of Nakyum for his self-serving objective, not for Nakyum’s sake.
Therefore, horrible as Seungho is, there is still a chance he would transform. Simply because he isn’t originally bad. The reason why he is abusive, violent, and into sodomy now is because of his past. I really realllly hope he came to realize how horrible and selfish and hurtful his action to Nakyum is, that he breaks Nakyum’s nose and rape him into exhaustion and 10-day bedridden state. So he would treasure my baby more.
The one thing i don’t like about this manhwa is the Mangaka didn’t let Nayum to feel hatred after his being raped to exhaustion and bedridden for ten days. I want to see Seungho feel regret for causing Nakyum’s mental trauma as a result of his actions. And hence some angst for us reader. Well i guess we can never get all that we want.
I’ll end this with my unpopular opinion. I hope Nakyum wouldn’t betray the teacher but got hurt by him instead, so he could realize his true intention. Because that would show that Nakyum is loyal, and would create an opportunity for Seungho to earn Nakyum’s love and erase that asshole teacher out of his mind.
