Yes? That's what intriguing means. Interesting. Captivating. It does not mean morally superior. If I were reading stories for moral lessons, I'd pick up Aristotle's works. Like I said in my original comment, I find Jingi boring. That doesn't mean that that won't change in the future, but as it is now, his brother is leagues before him in terms of bringing forth enjoyment when reading. I do find it amusing that people try to apply real-people ethical standards on fictional characters within a book about prison rape. This genre isn't exactly made for nuanced takes on validity of their actions, if it was, it'd end with Myeong getting therapy and both brothers getting punished for their actions. I don't need to point out the amount of fetish sex scenes in comparison to those portraying the psychological consequences of sexual abuse in prisons, yeah? Heonjae interests me more because there is actual substance to him. I want to see how far he will sink to get what he wants and how, in retrospect, it will affect both Myeong and Jingi. Perhaps his actions will finally push Jingi to be more than a pretty face, so I can have that inkling towards him too. Only time will tell

Idc what anyone says, I've liked Heonjae from the start. Don't get me wrong, Jingi is cool too, but he's so...ordinary. Heonjae's shy and timid personality combined with his trauma and obsessive spect makes him so much more intriguing to me. Plus, he's so cute looking. Idk, I find it hard to really give a shit about Jingi beyond his looks
