Lauder!
Seriously, I'm sick of these rape defenders!
No matter how old is Dan or how experienced, what JK did is damn SA!
About the love part, I have no idea either, but surely added by Mingwa only to speed up redemption part, gosh
Preach like literally this is way toxic than it was intended to be in the start
Yea, i was really puzzled about him getting mad at that creep as if he hasnt done worse, like he really thinks he has the right to be mad lol. On the contrary, I really don't want them to end up together lol, but knowing the author, you just accept theyre gonna be end game. Not really complaining tho, it is what it is since it's their story ^^'
Seriously, it's so disgusting, what JK did to Dan then was exactly the same damn thiing which that sick pervert doc wanted to do!
And I'm not a fan of them being together at the end either, and it's not like I hate toxic relationships in general, there are good series with redemption, but here JK was an asshole for such a long time, he treated Dan seriously like a damn thing, he needs to try better for redemption...
Finally! Bastard is becoming self aware! Whether Dan was a virgin or not is irrelevant to the matter of whether the stuff JK put Dan through was acceptable. It wasn't. EVER. What he put Dan through was horrendous either way. It does make it worse that his first experience (and his ONLY experience) was being forced into selling himself to someone that a.) doesn't know how to be gentle and b.) was only using him as a glorified fleshlight.
He was just as bad if not WORSE than that creepy hospital warden. Really the only differences is that JK is young and good-looking and he didn't stop at ATTEMPTED SA, he COMPLETED the SA. Several times! (At the beginning when Dan wanted to back out, in the gym showers when Dan clocked him in the face...etc etc.)
I still have NO IDEA how Dan fell for him at all. The only thing he has going for him is his face and maybe his work ethic (but even that is toxic, he works to the detriment of his health). He's a stupid meathead outside of that. I think Dan mistook the brain chemicals that get released when you do it for actual love. Also his isolation didn't help. No deep friendships and obviously he doesn't want to tell his poor sweet granny what he's been doing to get by.
He was lonely and trapped between a rock and a hard place. Before recently they barely spoke to each other about anything outside of their arrangement/work. Till now they've never confided in each other or had any mental/emotional chemistry. "Why didn't you tell me that happened?" my foot, why do you think?! Obviously Dan figured you wouldn't give two shits about it! Like you've ever made him feel like he could talk to you about ANYTHING!
The apology on the ferris wheel was a good start but I'm still waiting for the scene where he's on his knees, sobbing like a baby and begging for forgiveness. (Only for Dan to say "F*ck you." in a polite, graceful sort of way.) I know they're most likely gonna end up together but I definitely need JK to suffer more.
