fuckin hell !! All that development for nothing

I would have to disagree with the story being trash...

Huh?! Seungho, if this is not clear since the beginning, has trauma and personality issues, he does not simply think with his dick. It's frustrating but the fear, frustration, betrayal and anger Seungho is feeling is valid. The only unfortunate part is that he releases through sex and violence. He was sick and delirious when Nakyum showed a bit of affection so he can't probably remember much. What he can though was when Nakyum was pretty much defeated and said the two naked bodies thingy.

Yeah,,, trauma and personality issues does not justify or excuse rape and violence. Sure, Seungho feels fear frustration and betrayal but Nakyum is trapped by his rapist and was almost kidnapped and killed by Seungho's ex fuck buddy. Nakyum has a crap ton of trauma of his own to deal with and he has no room to do so because Seungho is a dick. The only true healthy happy ending I can imagine is Nakyum getting away from this situation. Or Seungho actually feeling remorse for what he's done, and understanding that despite being unfamiliar with real affection or whatever emotional crap he's got going on,, what he's doing is wrong, aND experiencing some kind of punishment for his terrible treatment of Nakyum.

But Seungho doesn't know he was kidnapped...that's why he has to know to first.

Exactly... Seungho doesn't know because he already jumped to his own conclusion and has decided to punish Nakyum by rape. What he should have done instead was give the crying boy some time to process what had happened and explain himself. Nakyum was so clearly shaken up and traumatized and afraid. What about that body language and behavior speaks "yeah sure fuck me bc we are just bodies or whatever. "

Plus given the era the story is in, for someone with psychological issues, violence (and rape) is typical. Its not a matter of justifying or excusing it with trauma, it really just how it is, their era doesn't have the ethics and morals we have today. And we are far from the ending because we haven't uncovered the damn trauma.

Sorry if I'm lashing, its just because the story is seemingly being called trash just because its not being fluffy or it doesn't go how people want it to.

Dude you're expecting as if Seungho is normal and mentally stable. That's why Seungho asked Nakyum why he ran away. I get it that Nakyum is afraid and shaken because he was kidnapped, but for Seungho, he is afraid and shaken because he was caught. As if everything Seungho somewhat changed for, still ended up making Nakyum afraid, so much that he has to run away. Seungho thinks he is the only one Nakyum is afraid of, so Nakyum should've confessed already, that was what he was expecting. Unfortunately, someone else already took that spot.
