I agree! I think it will also be Ideum! That's what I get from how he reacted to Jaeyi mentioning their relationship. And yes, the brother is weird but I do think, he's a very useful stepping stone for Jaeyi to realize what he feels for Ideum, so for now, I will tolerate his ahh
Damn, with every line I read of your comment made me think "did I write this??" xD It was obvious from the very first chapter that this story was gonna have ALOT of exaggerated, morally questionable stuff (sexually and otherwise) that would be inserted partly as erotic kinks and partly as an indication of the characters' psychological state and emotional maturity. I do personally see these kink tropes serving both purposes and I'm enjoying it.
I would understand people's shock if it was ever advertised as a sanitized approach to a relationship or one that would diligently and strictly address every issue based on real life morals, but it literally started off with the most noncon actions BY IDEUM. And like you say, we don't have to like it and we can even analyze it realistically if that helps us process it, but let's not act surprised it was here in the first place or that it inherently makes the story "objectively badly written" because of it.
Agreed on your theory, too.
Yall came into a kinky story that started with literal non consented voyeurism and are shocked by somnophilia??
Im not gonna go in a story about the mafia and be shocked by guns and violence come on now. You dont have to necessarily like it, but both jaeyi and ideum are the type to do this.
Now moving onto theories, i think that ideum might be the one to end the relationship because hes in too deep rather than jaeyi! Its clear jaeyi just thinks that hes so into ideum cause of their relationship but i feel like itll change if he learns that his brother is interested too. Also his brother seems like such a douche man why are you saying to a kid i bet you wish i was dead hes also a crypto guy yuck i hope he goes broke
