It is cheating. He never consulted with his partner about it. And clearly his partner disapproved of this attempted prostitution. But Prostitution or not, sex is the most intimate bond that you share with your lover. Even kissing and shit. You’re not supposed to give it to someone else even if there’s no feelings invloved.
That's too black and white thinking. You're being indiscriminate about it. It's almost like you'll even consider holding hands as cheating now. The important point is that Changkyung did this not to have pleasureable sex with other people. He wasn't event emotionally and sexually invested in it. They barely did anything, like they didn't even have sex. The most important point is that Changkyung is not human. It was so obvious that he had no understanding on what cheating was. Even Mokhwa knows this, that's why he didn't drag this issue. Mokhwa knew Changkyung made an honest mistake and that he needs to tell him and to make him understand that it was wrong so he would know that he shouldn't do this again. In the end, Changkyung eventually figured out that what's happening was in fact wrong.
I'm personally more disgusted by the people saying Mokhwa should drag the problem more to make Changkyung suffer more. It's gratuitously spiteful and I'm concerned that many people don't see how wrong this is.
I didnt word it right. No one is saying that something as little as holding hands is unforgivable. Theres a HUGE difference with holding hands and kissing/attempted sex. Even if u dont agree, u seem to be dismissing that its valid to feel hurt and feel hatred when someone messes up big time even if “they didnt know”
"Theres a HUGE difference with holding hands and kissing/attempted sex."
They didn't kiss, they didn't have sex, and the attempt is totally one-sided as Changkyung was feeling uncomfortable the entire time.
"u seem to be dismissing that its valid to feel hurt and feel hatred when someone messes up big time even if “they didnt know”
Lol, did I ever dismissed Mokhwa getting mad about it? I'm pretty sure I said before that Mokhwa getting mad is correct and that he is in the right. The intentions matters a lot. It's like why murder and manslaughter are different things
Again, even Mokhwa knows that Changkyung just didn't know better. I feel incredibly uncomfortable reading how spiteful/hateful some of the comments here were. Literally a lot of y'all wanted Mokhwa to drag the issue further to make Changkyung suffer more. I'm glad Mokhwa is a mature individual and he didn't do that, instead he directly confronted and communicated with Changkyung.
How was it one sided when he agreed to it in the first place. Even if he was uncomfy, he agreed in the first palce which led to it. N kisses on the body and touching and rubbing his dick is just as bad as just kissing. He never asked mokhwa for permission n Mokhwa never gave consent to him selling his body. He cheated. Point blank period wether he knew it or not. If its wrong, its wrong. Hence why the author even made this a conflict to begin with. N the author made mokhwa’s character full of forgiveness n shit. Obv thats how he would resolve it. N i dont remember u saying that mokhwa was correct for getting mad. If u did, tell me which reply it was.
"How was it one sided"
Because he didn't want it or enjoy it. He just wanted the money.
"N kisses on the body and touching and rubbing his dick is just as bad as just kissing."
They barely did anything. It was hardly intimate.
"never gave consent to him selling his body."
What?? They are in a relationship but Mokhwa doesn't own Changkyung's body. He's not his pet/toy. He's his own person.
"Point blank period wether he knew it or not. If its wrong, its wrong"
You see the flaw with this logic is how rigidly black and white it is, on how it directly ignores and doesn't consider the circumstances around it. Take for example what happened to a distant friend of mine. His drink got spiked and there were scandalous photos of him with other people that spread and eventually reached his gf. His gf abandoned him and accused of him cheating, even tho he tried to explain that he didn't know what happened nor does he remember what happened. Even tho there was indeed proof that he was drugged, his gf, along with her other friends, still adamantly accused of him cheating and she broke up with him. With your logic, the circumstances doesn't matter. The guy technically cheated so he's definitely a cheater and he was wrong, point blank period.
"the author made mokhwa’s character full of forgiveness n shit."
Nope. He made Mokhwa a mature and rational individual. Someone who knows that his bf is not human and has still has not 100% fully grasped human morality and principles.
"i dont remember u saying that mokhwa was correct for getting mad. If u did, tell me which reply it was."
I never did since I never said Mokhwa was in the wrong for getting mad at Changkyung.
Changkyung is more like essentially prostituting himself rather than cheating. And come on, they barely even did anything and he stopped because he went with his instinct that what was happening was in fact wrong. It's pretty clear that he's not fully grown up yet morally and emotionally.
