Ahhhh this story was genuine euphoria I could not stop fricking reading. I'm always such a sucker for fiesty, rebellious bottoms istg. Although this had a lot of dub-con/non-con in it (a bit of a minus in rating for this, but this is basically a 5), I feel like I could lowkey excuse it with Jay's reasoning: to accept the price he pays + Yoohan's obsession with atoning for his sins or taking this as punishment; not that I'm saying dub-con is the way, but Jay's harsh nature was a way to communicate with/get through to Yoohan as he is a bundle of depression, self-loathing, and a just a shell of a person consumed by his seemingly never-ending guilt. It really does showyou how humans can be complex and dark. I don't wanna look too much into a sex scene, but compared to the first time he ever had sex with Jay wherein he only ever saw this as punishment, the last full sex scene of the main story was like a transition from Yoohan accepting that his punishment can end and and that not everything in life has to be harsh. I really also liked how Jay spoke to him through the movie like it's so heartwarming and gut-wrenching at the same time I wanna kms why is this so good TT the ending was beautiful.
As for the side stories, kinda see why some people have the sentiments of Jay and Yoohan's relationship not having any development, although for me I was fine with the development of their relationship in the main story just because of the damn movie; but I also think I resonate with it non-lovey-dovey relationship so I was fine with it.
