I'm legitimately confused by the way so many people are responding to the raws in the comments. Did people just block season two out of their heads?

This isn't the first time Seongrok has raped Jeoh. Right after Jeoh was attacked by a different rapist, Seongrok assaults him in the car, while Jeoh screams for him to stop. He says, "Do I look like I'm in the mood to fuck?" and he fights while it's happening. He says that it hurts and he asks him, "Why are you doing this?" He tells him to stop again, and Seongrok coldly says, "No," and proceeds to keep going. Then it never came up again. It was like it never happened.
I'm not surprised at all that the artist is bringing it back, but the fact that no one is referencing the first SA between the leads is really weird to me. I stopped reading for a long time because of that scene. Seongrok was the only one who ever treated Jeoh as human, not as an object. He didn't just see him as something to use. Then the author undid all of it with that scene in the car. And it was clearly just for her own kink, as it never came up again.
I'm honestly willing to bet that even the second time won't really be addressed either. Maybe Seongrok's jealousy, but this just seems to be an ongoing thing. I really, really hate how common it is to have SA between the main couple. Why do people want that between two people who are supposed to love one another? Clearly there are millions of people lining up to assault Jeoh, so why does it have to be the one person he trusted?
The author lost me with that scene, but after a long while, I came back, hoping it got better. But it looks like it's just more of the same. I was just shocked no one else was bringing it up, so I started to think I was going crazy. But nope, the scene is there. Chapter 33. I'm guessing people think it's fine because he stopped resisting and eventually seemed to physically enjoy it, but that's not how assault works.
I'm syv, any pronouns, im bi!!!! Very inactive I'm sorry...

I'm only on chapter 22, and I'm just not sure I have it in me to continue. I knew this was gonna be a mess, but I hate pretty much every character. I also hate how the MC is chasing after that weird, spoiled brat too. Why did you even have feelings for him? He's possessive and short-sighted, incredibly selfish, and completely uncaring about anything other than what he wants. If he weren't completely obsessed with owning the MC, he wouldn't have given a flying crap about what was happening to him in that house. And yet MC is all teary and desperate, like he's losing something incredible. I guess when all you've ever known is abuse, the abuse the chokes you with a smile on its face seems tolerable.
