Suki Shite Sadist
I dropped this after a few chapters. It was just too cliché and cringe to continue. And reading the comments, it sounds like there will be a lot of predictable misunderstandings and unnecessary drama. Especially the part about Masaya being sick. That's just so extra.

Yeonsu is in an abusive relationship with a Dom/sadist who disguises the abuse as BDSM. He then meets an actor who needs swimming lessons to improve and uphold his public image. The two become FWB but romantic feelings are already beginning to bloom between them. However, it's clear at this point that Yeonsu's master is going to become an obstacle. He has Yeonsu so thoroughly gaslit, that he can't disobey his orders. Their BDSM practice doesn't come with any safewords or limits either, so when Yeonsu is ordered to never reject Juwan if he asks for sex, he'll have to obey. ...Which is obviously going to take a toll on their relationship... I'm liking the angst so far. I don't know if I like the characters that much. Yuwan is supposed to be the "good guy who gets the uke out of an abusive relationship" but the first time they had sex, he was uncomfortably pushy. He didn't stop, wait or slow down when Yeonsu asked him to and it kinda left a bad taste in my mouth.
