(I did not write this)
You think English is easy??
I think a retired English teacher was bored.
THIS IS GREAT!
Read all the way to the end.................
This took a lot of work to put together!
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick'?
You lovers of the English language might enjoy this...
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.'
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends.
And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special.
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.
When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for a while, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP,
for now my time is UP, so.......it is time to shut UP!
Now it's UP to you what you do with this email.

It's hilarious that people are justifying the fact Dan is Jk's possession as if he's not a human being. Just because he saved Dan from loan shark and paid for grandma's bills doesn't mean he has the right to display him sexually infront of other person without consent. He not only sexually assaulted Dan but also Heesung as he flashed Heesung with his and Dan's genitals without his consent.
Yes,there's a contract between them about Dan sexually relieving him. But Dan didn't even want the contract at first. He even ignored Jaekyung at first because of it.
I swear when people say the way Jaekyung acts is because it's love makes me concerned about their relationships cause darling this ain't okay. BL have made our standards reach in hell but if you're suffering from these acts then seek help please.

As the title states,
Jae Kyung is a fucking bastard. You all should hate him, okay I'll admit the art makes him look good but that's to blind you.
It's pretty privileged. If Jaekyung were unattractive/ugly, people would not ignore his actions.
The people (aka rape apologists) that say ''Oh but Jae Kyung saved Dan from the debt collectors'' Jaekyung literally did what they were about to do to Dan, aka rape him and abuse him. Jaekyung just doesn't want anyone else to rape Dan.
He doesn't even care if Dan gets hurt as long as he's able to fuck him.
He's just another hole for Jaekyung until the next cute bottom can cure his ''Jinx''.
Don't even say ''Oh I'm waiting for the redemption arc'' Cause how the fuck can you redeem rape?
''Why the hell are you acting so shocked like this is something new in Yaoi/bl manga''
We aren't shocked we know about rape in mangas, it's people sexualizing and justifying abuse.
IDC if it's fiction this is having real-life consequences online with people trying to justify rape and abuse, what if they met an actual victim what are they gonna say:
''Oh he's hot, he gave you money and a home you should be thankful to be together with that''
''I wish he picked me''
?.
Jaekyung abuses Dan, physically, emotionally, verbally, and monetarily.
Jaekyung thinks Dan is his, Dan is not a human to Jaekyung, He's an object. Dan is literally going through Stockholm Syndrome as another user stated. I really hope at this point that Dan gets together with Yoon-Gu or something with Yoon-Gu realizing that Jaekyung isn't the hero/idol he thinks he is. And then like saves Dan or something idk.
The only reason Dan's body is reacting the way it is, it's his body saying
''The faster I cum/react to Jaekyung, the faster he'll stop''
Dan is not enjoying it he's used to it, he thinks that maybe if he likes Jaekyung and gets attached is the only way to make him go away or something. I could write more but everything that could be said by Jaekyung has already been said.
To end, don't be a fujoshi don't justify rapists, please.

People on here be saying 'Rape is not sexual assault.' Imagine being so braindead to say this. There is rape in this story, do not lie to yourself. If someone says No and you continue, it is rape. It's not a difficult concept to understand. Yaoi has stopped calling it what is because rape is normalised, it's a plot device. Now they call it 'non-con', 'dubcon' so that it doesn't sound as bad. Rape is rape. Stop trying to use bigger words to make less bad.

I read the first chapters again and i have some thoughts; i read it untill chapter 17 and i physically couldnt go any further from that; so please hear me out.
Ill sum up the first 4 chapters bcuz i find those the most messed up times in this story (IMO)
This will be long.
We get an introduction to jae then dan; we learn abt dans past experience with gay attraction (harassment) and we get a clear thought on how he think of it. (Tbh iw ouldnt be suprised if he was homophobic cuz that shit eould lead to such prejudice)
Dan experience with it is just traumatizing; he didnt only get harassed by a figure he idolized (his boss) he also got fired and victim blamed for it. Dan is now left with the idea that his looks and him in general is for the blame to all of this.
Anyways after the introduction Dan gets a new job as the jae's gym p.t, dan gives jae a p.t session.
I want to point something out when dan accidentaly touched jae's penis i think jae had some disgusting thoughts abt a man he just met; the only reason he didnt hit him is bcuz he saw him as a potential sex toy.
ANYWAYS. Jae invites dan for a "physical therapy session" (which i want to add; why did he lie?? He could've said "i want to have sex with you" but he didnt. This makes me believe he said that on purpose only to drag dan into his trap to pressure him into having intercourse. IMO he knew what he was doing)
We then know jae is gay, but i want to mention the dude he had over. Did you see the way he treated him??? He completely discarded his feelings and his plessure bcuz he simply didnt like it, he then proceed to smash his face into a wall becuz the man made fun of him and wished him the worst (which is VERY understandable) he then pays the man money to shut him up (?)
This man has no empathy or understanding to the ppl around him, he is narcissism if it was a person. (I wnat to add too; he called the man a whore when he is a one too. He literally invited a man he met once to fuck. He is slut-shaming when is the biggest slut in the room)
dan gets ready to start his p.t session as he is intended to do, jae tells him the reason he is here for as he pressures him to have sex with him (he makes his offer tempting and irresistible when it really isnt) dan then without thinking agrees to doing so, he then makes an excuse to go take a bath since he stinks and that when we see what dan would have said if he had time to think.
Dan is VERY conflicted in the shower he ponders if he should leave and not do this (bcuz thats what he really wants to do) but jae goes in his shower; which i find very disgusting. How could he get so comfortable to walk into someoen while they are showing to ahve sec with you??? Have some shame. (This also shows how many times jae had sex ehich supports that he is a slut )
He forces dan onto the bed but dan then confesses that he wants to bail out. Jae THREATENS him, WTF??? He uses the other dude as a way to show what he will do to him if he leaves now he says something like: "dont think ill send you home safe and sound" which is like very. Un-consensual.
After a bit more threatening and nonconsensual sex, jae talks dirty to him saying something like: "how many men have you been with/put it in you" which makes dan disgusted (due to his past traumas and generally bcuz this is simply disgusting. Jae is again here slut-shaming him) dan says and this completely what he says:
"I dont wanna be anywhere near him anymore... i dont want to hear this kind of talk... i just want this to be over" which is tbh heart-wrenching. It broke my heart.
After all that. Dan goes home and jaes wins his fight. Jae comes to the conclusion that consensual sex isnt for him anymore; he liked the rape way too much he wants dan to be his physical therapist (sextoy) but dan isnt anywhere near, he stopped replying to anyone at all whoever it is.
Dan is in his home. Depressed. Defeated. Violated. He couldnt pull himself out of bed to go to his other jobs. And other than that his aggressor is calling him non-stop for wtvvs reason; he called somehting supposidly intemate "a living nightmare" which omg i couldnt help but take it personally. The way he took this is very conceived as SA survivor trying to cope; it hurts to watch. And even through all this he still stands up nad goes to take care of his grandma. What a strong man.
One last thought and ill leave quietly; if the author truly intended for this to be seen as a rape survivor; i truly would congratulate her. She captured the way a SA survivor might feel after the deed but it sucks since she is probably romanticizing it.
Ill end it here; if you have any disagreement with the way i summed it up, please tell me! We will talk and discuss things like adults.
Thank you for your time.

I hope you don't selectively sympathise with rape victims in the real world too. Nobody's asking you to love on Byun Minho's character, but acknowledging that he was the only victim in this story, shows a lot about you. Let's also acknowledge that fact that he's only written so badly so that you rape apologists can ignore his trauma like you always do when you feel a victim isn't worthy of sympathy or if they were cursing or wearing short clothes, since the victim's character plays so strongly into the actual rape, right?
