Okay, I know this is gonna start an argument BUT I want to say it,
I don't really like jaekyung but the fact that he is getting so much hate like this is so confusing to me, have you seen other seme and what they do? But this is not the main point here, the point is that he paid Dan to do that stuff, there was a deal, means consent, even if Dan hated it, there was a deal, jaekyung paid off Dan's debt and is paying him not just for the physical therapy but for the sex too, so idk what the big deal is? Yes, he is a jerk but that's who Dan decided to work for and he fully consented to the terms and conditions for the deal. (Even if jaekyung took advantage of his situation to reach his goal.)
I see your point, I do, but I still think Jkyng deserves all this hate no matter what nuance may come. Abuse is still abuse and for Jkyng he used his power and also sexually abused KD.
Many times did KD cry and was harmed because of his unwillingness to stop or be more gentle, not even when KD asks him to. That is NOT consent, that is sexual abuse. People say it is fair since KD always comes back for more, knowing what would happen but that moves on to his abuse of power.
Money talks. KD is in extreme financial need for all these money and if anybody else were in this situation I swear close to no one will turn it down with an ailing grandmother (his only family left) and loan sharks coming to bite his ass 24/7. Money talks and a great example would be, bear with me; Squid Games.
Another extra thing would be Jkyng knows just how to manipulate KD because of his subservience and vulnerabilities. What he does is manipulative no matter if he did it on purpose or not. Furthermore, he uses that to his advatage a multitude of times to get what he wants (as you said at the end).
TLDR; I understand but Jkyng does deserve this hate
That isn't how consent works.It'sthe same with escorts and prostitutes. Even if someone pays you for sex and you consent to being paid for sex, you can STILL revoke consent if you feel uncomfortable and so can the other person even if they paid you, they can say they don't want to continue because they are uncomfortable. So yes, Jaekyung deserves every single ounce of hatred he is getting and then multiplythat exponentially. Author just wants to write out SA.
But he gave his consent it's not like Dan told Jaekyung to stop. Jaekyung needed someone to f*ck and Kim Dan needed money And they BOTH agreed. Jaekyung is a shit character but hating him for shit he didn't even do dumb.
Plus it was Kim Dan not following the contract they had. Jaekyung just needed a body and nothing romantic but Kim Dan started to have feelings for him. He is the one who Liked him first and he is the one who took the extra side job just to get Jaekyung an expensive gift.
I'm not saying this because I support Jaekyung's actions. It's just annoying to see people shit that's not true.
I'm with you
Jk is an asshole, but he was direct and honest about his intentions with KD since the beginning. KD falling in love wasn't part of the plan, even if it hurts us seeing Dan all depressed and heartbroken.
Now what I really want is a redemption arc from JK asking for forgiveness for being mean and ungrateful to Dan, BUT I doubt this happens is a easy way because JK doesn't seem to know exactly what he's feeling, this is more like obsession, and Dan doesn't deserve that (I just finished Jinx, in one go, so if I'm missing something and have other pov is well received)
Poor Dannie, I feel so bad for him, he don't deserve all of this pain. I hope that horse can finally get his puny little brain straight and do something good for once.
