But it was explored in the second chapter? He fantasized Jaeyi invading his room and having his way with him when he was sleeping unknowingly. That’s why it’s no surprise he would be into Somnophilia and cnc. But he just wants Jaeyi to desire him in a romantic way than just the pornographic scenarios he thinks of.
Yep! I meant it in a way that Ideum communicates with Jaeyi about his desire, like many other times. Obviously us viewers know "Oh, Ideum wants this." but does Jaeyi...? Not exactly.
I dont think to deeply about it since its just a manhwa though, but I can understand where other people are coming from when they're a bit thrown off.

Hmm I kind of wish the manhwa showed kink exploration a little better, with the whole somnophilia thing. It will obviously be a thing that Ideum is into — the author could've inserted a plot point where Ideum wants to experience it and it could've played off... consensually. I think some people in the comments dont seem to get that there are readers who dont like a non consensual scene shoved on to them with no warning. Its like a shock to the system haha. I'm not the author though so yep! Onwards.
