i think people are overlooking the context of their relationship. it’s been shown that ian is pretty immature when it comes to all this and has admitted that he struggles to hold himself back, while eunsan has consistently shown that he wants ian just as much and even initiates things himself. also yall, some couples irl are comfortable with intimacy while their partner is asleep, speaking from experience and knowing people who are the same. it really depends on the relationship and whether they’ve discussed and agreed that it’s okay, as long as neither person feels violated. so i don’t think we should assume every relationship has the same boundaries.
i’m not saying that automatically means consent, but i do wish the author had given us more context about that scene. context matters A LOT, and i think it’s fair to want more clarity before making definitive judgments about the characters and the author’s intentions.
