Some of these comments... whoa. Anyways, here's my take: I'm not surprised that this happened. To the ppl that say "oh, huilin has never shown these type fo traits, I'm surprised" did we read the same story? Huilin has always been possessive and unknowing of boundaries. From the beginning of the story, she has been rude to sulhwa, and constantly makes choices for Jaehee, going as far as to take out her college competition and make way for her to get a job at her own school so they can stay together. That was the whole reason Jaehee broke up with her, but she never drew a clear line because Huilin was her escape from reality since she was a teenager. Huilin cannot accept the fact that she isn't the thing Jaehee goes to at the end of the day, so she decides to use force. It really isn't surprising... she's just using physical tactics instead of manipulation to get Jaehee now.
As for the ppl debating whether or not this is r*pe, and what Sulwha did in ch 24/35 was r*pe, I'm going to be as unbiased as possible. What Huilin did was definitely r*pe. Jaehee was extremely drunk, therefore cannot consent, and on top of that, after she pushed Huilin off and told her to stop, she didn't and continues with force. Some of y'all might say "it's bdsm though"... but you're wrong. As said in the manhwa itself, bdsm is all about consent. There are strict guidelines pertaining to when someone can be a slave and not, and to my understanding, Jaehee did not agree to be a slave this time. Just because Huilin was her dominant a few chapter ago, doesn't mean she has the right or ability to do the same now. Maybe she will stop when Jaehee says the safeword, but since this wasn't outlined as a play, I'm going to read this as SA or r*pe. With Sulwha's case, I think it was just toxic. They both agreed that while Jaehee stayed in her house, they were going to have that kind of relationship. I don't think that's enough to put Sulwha in the clear, so I'll explain it a bit more. On top of that rule, Jaehee was not drunk, and Sulwha made it clear that the bdsm play is gonna start, and because Jaehee was at her house at the time, it was "automatic consent". She was just SUPER angry and lowkey abusive. She stopped right once Jaehee said the safe word, and still regrets what she did till this day. THAT is something Huilin hasn't done. She has always felt entitled to Jaehee.
And the the people who are saying both are obsessive, I agree to some extent. But there's a difference between both of their love. Sulwha has has a crush on Jaehee since she was little so I wouldn't say that's super toxic; she just wanted a clear answer from Jaehee. Huilin on the other hand, as I said, feels entitled to do whatever she wants with Jaehee's life, and everyone around her knows that. IMO, THAT is more toxic.
Overall, this is a really fucked up manhwa. If you don't feel comfortable with these themes, I highly recommend you don't read it. I don't like any of Jaehee's relationships, but I'm not gonna equate them when one is obviously more vile. This comment is super long so I'll stop now lol. And I really don't wanna argue with anyone either, soooo ya
