there’s a very fine line between plots with rape that further a storyline vs adding it because it’s an easy way to only make a yaoi have more buzz. SA, taking someone autonomy and choice, adds so much conflict between aaron and yujins characters that it makes complete sense in this story’s context
yujin abandoning aaron can be justified by how horrible his father was and believing he’s atoning for his father by restricting and hurting himself because it’s all he has control over. what he doesn’t know is despite all this, aaron has already processed this and knew everything!! and STILL wants to be with him. unfortunately, the loneliness and fear that aaron deeply feels makes him assume his kindness and patience didn’t “work”, so in his frenzied, desperate state he thinks dominating or being cold is what’ll make yujin understand the depth of his love. but controlling him also meant using the same overbearing power yujins own father used against him. what aaron failed to realize and will also grovel over is yujin hates himself more than he loves aaron and it’s something he’ll spend a lifetime making up for
For further clearance aaron already clear up the misunderstanding about yujin father before yujin run away on ch62 even asking yujin to stay but its a little too late? because yujin already filled up with guilt and decided to runaway because of the news
