Oh my God, is the ending like Stockholm syndrome for jiwook? Or like is he still trapped in juyeon house?
It's weird....it's like jiwook is so traumatized by what Juyeon does to him and by his memories coming back he can't live without him. And Juyeon himself has never been able to move on from Jiwook and his revenge just made him more entangled w him so he can't live without him either Jiwook goes back to Juyeon home willingly after Juyeon helps him recover at the hospital and physical therapy. They live together (way more normal than before) but their dynamic basically has violence/toxicity baked in so that still happens during sex. But jiwook isn't chained up or forced to stay there. He wants to. He has really bad PTSD tho and Juyeon ends up getting him therapy and meds to help.
SPOILERS ABOVE sorry I forgot to hide the text
Jiwook is basically just a husk of the man he used to be he's completely reliant on juyeon due to guilt and stock Holm. And juyeon doesn't change he still guilt trips, abuses, and manipulates Jiwook and in a side story still repeats what Jiwook did to him when younger, which is take him to the school toilets tie him up and leave him there for people to see with a vibrator in his ass . Also it got deleted but the author is a sick fuck and wrote Jiwook doing it with a dog
I read the novel.. bro it's just so rape sloppy Jiwook and his posse raped and manipulated juyeon when they where younger, recording and basically everything juyeon is doing to Jiwook. The plot is Jiwook doesn't remember this because of a head trauma from a fight with his main enemy (who hasn't been introduced yet).. basically the end of the main story is a gang juyeon funds rape Jiwook and borderline mutilate his insides with a bat and then he remembers and apologises to juyeon and then they live together.. was not worth the read tbh
