u can just skip pearl boy! although it does give u an idea of what seunghyun is like before he met yuta again.
in the earlier chapters yuta rapes seunghyun and seunghyun raped him back until yuta bled and was unconscious. additionally, they had sex infront of some elderly people (as part of a private show i think) until yuta literally bled.
yuta is a really complex uke which i think is something you rarely see in bls these days. i don’t really understand their story and might have to reread it soon, but i would still give it a read because their dynamic does improve(?) and it does get cute and funny at certain points of the story. their dynamic is different from what jooha and dooshik gave us. if you want to skip the super duper bad parts you could read from c29 until the end though.
honestly, you can’t expect all bls to be all sunshine and rainbows, it has to have dead dove at some point. people under this comment section could literally just drop the bl if this isn’t their cup of tea, but well in the end, they still read this so called ‘slop’ lol

I dropped pearl boy ages ago bc the violent rapes gave me major ick. Do I need to finish pearl boy to read this and also does it also have violent SA?
