In my opinion, the stupid one is definitely not the uke, but the readers who are calling him stupid. There were 4 thugs, big and strong, one had a knife, and the other three might have too (or they could use anything as a weapon). Uke has just been beaten, drugged, close to unconcious, can't fight back or think clearly. Seme has no weapon and probably isn't good at fighting (he's an art student). The thugs could attack seme from behind, or they could use uke as hostage. Of course, uke could take the risk and called seme for help, uke can expect 4 thugs to scared and run away from one person who's about to faint and the other one who doesn't have weapon :v But he chose the best option he could think of. I know uke is also dumb, but that's because he's sincere and kind. That's why seme fell deeply in love with him.
I'll also explain why uke couldn't explain the misunderstanding to seme. You should understand that there are situations where any explanation is considered a cheap excuse. And uke is in that situation. "I pretended to be a slut to save you from the thugs" (!?) Who would believe that? How could uke say such meaningless and shameless things to seme, when seme looked at uke with such contempt, as if he were looking at something dirty? If you were uke, would you dare say those things to seme?
I think readers should use their brains and hearts when reading stories, not just their eyes. And, you should spend your valuable time reading seriously, instead of reading spoilers.
