*also, this manwha is a work of fiction! you can enjoy fiction without having to justify what's happening in it or why you enjoy it! however you can't take something in fiction and try and justify why it would be okay in reality, with real people!*
non-consensual sex is rape or sexual assault - consent is an enthusiastic and ongoing "yes" from both parties throughout the duration of intimacy.
there are a few scenes that are explicitly rape in this manwha (e.g. the gym shower scene) , and others that come under the category of sexual assault (e.g. jaekyung getting choi heesung over to the apartment to see Dan without Dan's consent).
Consent also has to be voluntary - when you introduce financial dependence/obligation/contracts, the waters are muddied. because even if the participant appears to be enthusiastic and willing, it's difficult to discern if that's genuine, or due to the threat of financial instability if they don't comply. Consent that is coerced in this way, or in any other manner (physical/emotional manipulation) is invalid).
consent is an enthusiastic yes - a no is a no, and should require the other partner to stop and assess the situation. unless you've agreed beforehand on a safeword/signal/colour system that indicates when to stop, neither party should progress past a no without immediately stopping and checking in.
consent is ongoing - a yes to one act at the beginning isn't a blanket yes. because someone wants to do X doesn't men they automatically want to do Y. continuing to do Y without checking for their confirmation isn't okay.
