I think from the start he’s been straight or at least bisexual or literally just a dog for that rep Lee and would woo anyone she asked him to if it fit into her plans for more money and power, who knows if the sexual assault will be addressed properly we can only hope it does and hope we don’t get more sexual assault scenes in future
I’m also confused on where the story will go. Honestly when I saw the past lives part I thought it was gonna be a “fated lovers” dark story, but due to the amount of disgust the MC has for the ML I don’t see it anymore. Plus the rape, the fact that the man is clearly straight (maybe bi, honestly who knows), and his involvement with the ML mom death, I’m just lost on how their relationship will develop. I honestly think this will end in suicide, idk why I was thinking they’d be a happy ending during the first couple chapters. Just delusional man.
Or is the past lives part an extra and not canon?
I sort of hope it's not a friends with benefits thing, I just feel like that's so uninteresting. These characters had a lot of potential at the beginning but now I'm a little concerned with the story direction. I'm a bit tired of the straight man x gay man stories (especially ones where SA happens and it's rarely addressed). It might be addressed in this one, but I won't get my hopes up.

Can someone tell me if Incheol is straight? In the previous chapter (where Pyeonghwa assaulted him) there was comments talking about Incheol being straight and how this story was never going to work etc etc, and now I'm just a little confused with the direction these two characters could even go in. I was assuming this story would be dark, but I guess I just don't know how the two of them would move forward from this without it just being somewhat ignored.
