Sorry for the delay! Here's the rough summary of the second half of ch 31 (first half can be found in my profile)

DH (Donghyun) looks at his bruise and thinks that normally he'd be okay with it but this time feels different. When we flashback to DH/MH in the parking lot MH is teasing DH with phrases like "is it delicious hyung" and "you're so cute to the point that it's kind of annoying" and then tells him to take his pants off. At which point DH starts to think that something's off with MH and that he shouldn't have been so nosy/curious and begins to struggle against MH when MH forcibly takes his pants off. Then we get to some rough sex with MH saying things like "you like me and you like sex don't you hyung?" while DH keeps saying stop and no and looking pained/hurt. Finally once MH's done with him he tells DH to go back inside and leaves. Back to the present DH comes back to the parking lot thinking the experience was scary and ends with "the Minhyuk I used to know..."

This chapter as a whole as interesting because it was clearly a contrast of the TS/SY and MH/DH sex dynamic which both had elements of dubcon, but ultimately the former ended up reaffirming SY's perception of TS as someone he's drawn to while the latter shattered DH's perception of MH and their (supposed) relationship. I know DH was pretty shitty in previous chapters for threatening to out TS's lover (who I believe he wasn't able to identify), but he didn't deserve being raped like this. :( Sorry to everyone who stans MH but I really don't find him likeable at all aside from his physical appearance...
Don't you think that the author gives MH amazing facial expression, you can really get that he upset about the relationship between SY/TS. I know MH is a bad guy but I can't help but feel sorry for him, one sided loves are always painful. I don't think DH should have been raped but he obviously knew what MH sexual preferences were when he decided to show his jealousy and approach him.
Only doing first half for now until I have more time to read more thoroughly

A lot of SY's dialogue in the beginning is moaning and asking TS to stop and TS saying no. Then TS tells SY that he started this first and that he never wants to see SY cry in front of him again because he doesn't like seeing him cry. Then some more moaning and SY asking TS to stop again and TS responds with something like "you really don't understand — I don't want to". Then we get SY's inner monolgue about how TS makes him forget about reality and that he feels like he's burning up, but also that this heat is sweet and warm to the extent that he would be okay with getting burned.

So it sounds like TS/SY are slowly opening up to each other and TS in his own TS way telling SY that he cares about him while SY accepts that his relationship with TS is evolving into something else. Ughhhhh I'm simpin for their relationship development ╥﹏╥

And thank u so much arcticxs for translating !
I think the thread on ch 30 below does a good job of covering the main gist of the chapter, but here are few more tidbits including some dirty talk/monologue summary: (as uze please correct if needed)
.

The chapter starts with TS fingering SY until they notice the couple nearby. SY is repeatedly telling TS to stop/take out his fingers while TS teases that SY should show the couple how much he likes it. TS teases that SY's 'upper mouth' and 'lower mouth' are saying two completely different things and that his hole is greedy for his fingers. After that SY has his inner monologue about how he dislikes this weird feeling that he can't put a name to, and that he feels like an animal lying in front of its predator and thinks he'll become a hollow shell again (like his first encounter with TS) if this continues. Meanwhile TS continues the dirty talk by teasing that with the amount of fingers he currently has in SY he could probably fit his whole fist inside (woowww).
Then after that the couple nearby talks about hearing some weird noises but then dismisses it and goes on their way. TS teases SY again about how it's too bad that the couple didn't get to see SY like this but then sees that SY starts crying and he whines several times that TS was supposed to 'let it slide' (referring to prev chapter when SY thought he would be punished). TS scoops up SY in silence and when TS doesn't answer SY when he asks where he's taking him he feels scared.
Then in the final SY monologue he thinks again about how he still can't shake these unnamed feelings off and that all he can do for now is cling onto TS as if he was drowning. When they get to the sexy times in TS's room SY thinks that rather than of being afraid of TS's silence he's more afraid of what he'll become if this continues.
Thank you, I just read chap 30 in korean and damn, I know they are all assholes but im literally "pls dont make it a love triangle with the blondie pls" cause I'm so done with webtoons always making seme x seme fighting for the uke, its a bit of a love triangle but I feel like the uke has made his choice already, Im rooting for the snake daddy anyways (▰˘◡˘▰)
Thank you so much. Gosh Taeseung really likes to flirt + dirty talk + tease Sooyoung like that. Its just that Sooyoung was emotionally unstable due to the circumstsnces. Aaah i wonder when Sooyoung's heart break will fully heal. The assault he received from his ex really broke him TT
I hope Taeseung will give him some assurance and do a bit of talking. Taeseung is more of a man of action. We can see him being passionate and intimate with his touches / skinship but i Sooyoung arent use to all of that
Even with his ex, the ex always push himself on him. That wasnt tender love. Even though he love the hyung, Sooyoung show obvious discomfort with his intimacy. Its different when sooyoung with Taeseung. All this were new territory for Sooyoung. He never know this intimacy and to make matter even more burdensome, Taeseung is a monster himself. Physically he was more violent and scary compare to the people that abuse Sooyoung before. But currently Taeseung is gentler and kinder than all those people. Its a very complex juxtaposition that balckapricot had created in this story.
We can see why Sooyoung being totally out of it due to all this.
On one hand I'm like "nooo Tae Joon don't blow him just to ask for forgiveness that's toxic" and on the other I'm like "oooo yessssssssss here we GO"
