he/him
What the ml did to mc is coercive and if he sleeps with him, it's going to be rape. Coercive rape. Mc is FORCED to say yes to this relationship because he will lose his job if he says no after this manipulative stunt ml pulled by mentioning their deal in front of mc's supervisors. This is messed up and unfair and ml's past and current situation isn't an excuse. I haven't finished the webtoon yet but i hope they won't brush it off and make mc immediately fall in love as if he wasn't fucking harassed.
Did a man write this?
I was all for it until the incely 'slept with a lot of guys' comments of the guy and the obvious fact that the sex scenes were written by a virgin(although i don't necessarily require realism for smut). Not to mention the 'submissive' comments and the reactions of fl which very much remind me of the male gaze hentai archetype.
I seriously need to get this out of my chest: I eat pasta with mayonnaise, the Hellmanns one specifically.

So that there won't be any misunderstandings, the artist SUCKS at creating fl's expressions. They made her seem as if she enjoys what happens to her. That is NOT the impression you get from the book. And for those who call her stupid, try growing up in her environment, groomed and abused and you'll see how your oh so intelligent self wouldn't be as such, especially in this time period with literally ZERO true social interactions. I fucking hate ml, he's even more disgusting in the book.
If one person loved her, that was Fabian but he died unjustly from the hands of that worthless sociopath who gets a kick from torturing a little girl that has nothing to do with what happened to him and his mother. He DOESN'T care about how she feels and what happens to her as long as he can have her around to use her. He only cares about power, he's nothing but a hollow piece of trash that is unable to ever feel anything as emotionally complex as love. He's only capable of selflove. He sees her as someone bellow him, as less than an object. Life next to him is and will keep on being miserable for fl. Fuck i would pay the author to read an alternative ending where he dies painfully so i can laugh. But that's not possible so... The novel was just misery porn unfortunately.
That piece of crap saying he loves her is such a fucking joke. He only loves himself and his pleasure.

Ah yes, you said sorry for one of the countless disgusting things you've done. What now? Want a cookie for it?
Still better than nothing at least. Also Taeui is HORRIBLE at explaining. I think he most likely confused Ilay even more with that half assed explanation about how emotions work.
Notice how there's no romance tag? Brace yourselves
This was an absolutely heartbreaking story which didn't sugarcoat the effects of abuse, mental and physical. Sexual abuse WASN'T romanticised nor justified, no matter what the translator notes said, which misinterpreted a lot of the scenes. It was so painful and realistic, i barely stomached most scenes. The ending was painfully sad because if you notice the detail of Minho questioning once again what's the meaning of staying alive, it indicates that actually nothing changed and his abuser successfully managed to break his resolve for a better life, he managed to distort his view, making him instead believe that there's nothing there for him. His first successful attempt at breaking Minho was when he beat Minho and canceled his Job opportunity. This job was an incredibly important step for Minho, it was the moment he finally found the courage to pursue something after all that guilt. It wasn't about the money, it was about the mental strength to get back on his feet and he had this utterly crashed. Then add the constant mental and physical abuse, the voice which kept on repeating to him that he doesn't deserve forgiveness and that he's cheap. The gangrape scene and him saying "pay me first" absolutely broke me. Minho didn't return to Wookyung because he forgave him but because he is trauma bonded to him, because he was made to believe that there's nothing but his abuser in store for him. He doesn't love Wookyung, not even in the sexual sense. He's a straight man that was continuously raped, let that sink in. He's not bisexual, he's straight. He's a victim of sexual abuse and nothing more. His coping mechanism of drinking to disassociate or having sex was so realistic it kind of hit close to home.
As for Wookyung, yes he's also a victim of abuse, just like many abusers. This of course doesn't justify his demented actions of abuse. Noticed a certain pattern with him? Even when he felt sorry about something he did, he still repeated the abuse. He didn't stop. He was blind to ANYTHING Minho felt. Yes, abusers can feel sorry about what they do, but only in the moment, because in the end, it's all about them and the dependency they have in their victim. He is mentally ill and unless he gets treatment, he'll never be able to truly love someome. It will constantly be "sorry" then back to selfishness and abuse. The ending symbolised that nor Wookyung nor Minho changed their situation, Wookyung once again chose to be selfish by begging him to come back and Minho is still depressed and purposeless after being broken by Wookyung.
I loved this story because it's fucking realistic, unapologetically showing us the ugliness of abuse. It's NOT a romance story. Personally, i find the 'uWu hEs yAnDeRe' or 'bDsM it's SeXy when Minho cries' takes incredibly shallow regarding this masterpiece. These two aren't meant to be 'shipped', they are characters in a story depicting something very painful and true to everyday life.
