This is 100% on point! I have also hated how people didn’t even acknowledge the rape scene and instead have just treated it as something to be overlooked.
Oh my god I am so glad I am not the only one who felt this. Everytime Juhyeok gets rightfully upset it either becomes a joke or the story finds a way to make you feel bad for Su Ah. Like yeah he just raped Juhyeok and he had no regard for what he wanted but LOOK. He has trauma so give him some slack. Hell no.
I agreeee!
I don't wanna argue with Author's vision or their pacing but putting Suah's backstory right after rape and fight makes it harder for readers to empathize with him. It almost looks like the author is trying to justify the earlier bad actions by peeking us into his psychological state even if the author didn't meant it as such. If it had been any other chapters, it would have helped explain his actions rather than justify. or maybe if it's just me.
