The issue is they don’t really touch on it at all, not bc the ml didn’t want to, but bc the mc didn’t. One of the bottles were spiked with date rape drugs and the mc never knew until way later bc he just put off the issues which ended up hurting both of them. Not to blame mc for anything, this was just genuinely an unfortunate turn of events
Can I ask you to please give a warning if you're planning to go into spoiler territory in the future? A lot of folks, myself included, prefer to find out details as we read ourselves.
I also do not understand your response in context to what I just said, to be entirely honest.
It's wild to me that the response to his (very sick) partner's alcoholisn is... physical abuse. Hair grabbing, sex as violence, etc. Mind you, I don't condone the lying and smuggling in drinks at all. It's incredibly fucking rough having someone close to you act that way. But this is worse. Seongjae physically punishing his partner, especially when he knows full well Seungwon is fragile, is not an act of love or concern in the slightest and shows that he genuinely is an unsafe person to be around. The reason I'm so baffled by this response is though is because it's so counterproductive to what Seongjae wants, which is to keep Seungwon healthy. It'd make a lot more sense if he gave him a different punishment than a physical one.
On Seungwon's side, I suppose he has technically known Seongjae is unsafe all this time anyway and maybe that in combination with doing numbing himself so he doesn't get stressed and have an episode is why he's convinced himself it doesn't phase him that much. Glossing over it all is wild, but fawning is also a survival mechanism, just like fight or flight.
I'm really interested in how they're going to detangle this mess of Seongjae being abusive and Seungwon being crazy traumatised.
Honestly though I'm also so glad seeing an isekai going all in on the trauma angle. I've always felt it's unrealistic to not have the protagonist be messed up in such a scenario.
