Controversial.. don't come at me Σ(ಠ_ಠ)

Heavy on read with more nuance! I said this last year Nanjo is not a victim I wish they would quit.

I don't get this urge for readers to portray one party as a victim when there are situations like this. Nanjo was equally consenting to this whole shenanigan. Mok atleast tried conveying his feelings Nan just chose to run away. This is not the case where the uke is a victim of any kind...maybe only of circumstances and his own choices/actions.
That twink also omg was just unbearable.
Reading Mok's backstory...if one goes back to read ch1-2 ..Nan is exactly the judging type Mok faced growing up... His "friend" threw him under the bus under implied character assassination all the while playing gold digger... Damn the boy still actually learned how to be loving towards another person despite his history....

Thissss I’ve been saying this from the jump Nanjo was making assumptions and judging him Mok had never done anything to him! At some point he had to recognized the facade and chose to ignore it. Tryna act like sleeping behind his back was some brave hero act when you decided to believe whatever about someone you know nothing about calling him names and all. He’s 32 bffr. In the beginning chaps SunSun literally tells Mok he tricked him into sleeping with him helloo?? But people so focused on Top=Bad/red flag like grow up fr. Mind you I love all three characters they are all morally grey but people keep choosing to only read at face value it’s annoying fr

It wasnt only in the last chapter though. Despite their agreement, he was being too much most of them. What he did to Nanjo multiple times could be counted as dubcon. Just because Nanjo came during sex, didnt cut him off, and eventually enjoyed their intercourses doesnt make it less dubcon. Also, nobody says that Twink is a saint, he literally mentioned about outing Nanjo in the season finale. As for Nanjo, he was a fool for thinking everything is black and white and for letting Mokyeok get away with things, clearly not perfect, but thats all, you cant put him and Mokyeon in same bracket.

He needs personal growth in many aspects, and by growth I dont mean he should take responsibility for or try to save a depressed Mokyeok. Also, yes, Mokyeok should apologize for what he did, not only that time in season finale.

The only dubcon perhaps I can agree would be S1 finale..for which I say Mok getting his share of suffering..but Nan was no way pressurized logically he was older than Mok, physically same as Mok, he was financially far more powerful than Mok and actually could destroy him if he wanted with his wealth and power.
He could walk away anytime but he didn't. Reducing him to just to being a fool is infantilizing at best.
The point was all of them were morally questionable but ppl dogpiling on Mok.

Thank you for this!

Period. I got yo back fren

Season 1 ending as the only dubcon is crazy lmaoooo. Do we even read the same thing, or does yaoi just do wonders to brain cells? The sex scenes must be that hot they melt brains. Anyway, Im not infantilizing him, im saying hes a pathetic damn fool for this knight-in-shining-armor act, doing all that for someone you barely know except for the ‘perfect poor little victim’ image you created your head.


Mokyeon loving him, and Nanjo being a rich, powerful person who somehow agreed to their deal, doesn’t make Mokyeon any less violent, nor does it make their intercourses any less like borderline assault. If they want to have real chance in relationship they need to learn few things, mokyeon for a example should learn that no is no and know when to stop.

I guess "borderline" is perfect title for this book, both mcs are borderline crazy in their own way but still you cant put Nanjo and Mokyeon in same bracket.

Anyway, I cant remember the part where Sunhwa and Nanjo are in a relationship. I thought they were more of a non romantical borderline sugar daddy–sugar baby situation (how did they even cross paths lmao) but somehow Nanjo created a whole narrative about Sunhwa being a poor little victim of the big bad Mokyeon (and again, none of this justifies the borderline assault in their sexual interactions so)

“ but still you cant put Nanjo and Mokyeon in same bracket.” this is exactly what the original commenter was talking about they started off saying “
So yeah.. reading a lot of takes on how Mok is facing consequences etc...” pointing out how everyone is viewing the story black and white and with no nuance because they are only pointing out that Mok is wrong painting Nanjo as this damsel in distress bottom that needs saving and that’s further from the truth. The three of them would’ve never gotten entangled had it not been for SunSun. Nanjo judging a book by its cover calling him names and looking at him with pure disdain villainizing him when he through the few times they were together has surely already realized that things aren’t what he thought, but did he admit that? No. No one is saying that Mok is a saint but everyone is only commenting on him as if Nanjo didn’t make him into a villain by his own assumptions. It’s not about who was worse because they are all morally grey but everyone is ignoring that and only dog piling on Mok.
