I lowk hated reading this up until a certain point (near the end) bc I felt like both of their actions were so frustrating and avoidable. But after getting a better understanding of their personalities and flaws I can understand how some of the situation played out the way they did. However, I really didn't like the sex scenes, they were all so rapey and gross. They had consensual sex maybe one time before everything went down hill, but every other time besides the last episode were unconsensual and used as a means for jaemin to take his anger out on taeyoon. And it also pissed me off how taeyoon would just go with it every time, even when his ex kissed him. Me personally I wouldn't have even let him get CLOSE enough for that to even happen, and with jaemin there's no way I woulda forgiven him after weaponizing sex against me. And he never even addresses that in his apology cuz oh well, yaoi logic I guess rape is the least consequential worry he doesn't need to be held accountable for.
I don't want it to seem like I'm shitting on this story entirely, bc I think the portrayal of trauma and social pressure was done very well for the both of them. I just think some other aspect were done in poor taste and did a major disservice to the taeyoon and jaemin
