The author is definitely trying to show the disconnect between the two characters, I feel like this chapter felt like a slap to the face because it pulled us out of the fantasy and throw us back to the reality of the situation. Ideum is being used as a toy, sounds harsh but if there was no sex would Jaeyi give ideum the time of day? Up to this point it’s been “ok” because ideum was also into the rush of sex and being desired. I think we need to remember Jaeyi isn’t a good guy, he’s kind of an asshole, but we are seeing him through Ideum’s perspective most of the time, so just like ideum, we got a false hope for something more. Everyone else has only described jaeyi as a dick, re read any part when he’s with his classmates or friends.
I’m not saying Jaeyi is some evil guy, not at all but we are seeing him push boundaries and give into sexual desires because ideum doesn’t voice any kind of hesitation. This chapter is showing both characters core issues with intimacy.

It also shows ownership in a relationship that holds no “feelings” it’s a toxic relationship that the two had to begin with, it started with desperation on both ends. It dosnt mean anyone is the bad guy, but there is a power imbalance. We got The excitement and rush but now we are starting to get to the root of the characters and what makes them so desperate and lonely. This need to have sex to gain something, to not be so frustrated and to have a form of release that depends on another persons body.
ideum is afraid of rejection and can’t even think about acting on any romantic feelings he might have, the author showed us this with him in school with his crush, we see it when he puts himself down, or can’t even humour the idea of the two of them together. Admit defeat before you fail. he thinks so little about himself and is so anxious, even when he gains any hope he quickly realizes that they are nothing but sex buddies.

This maybe feels like a “red flag” but that’s the whole point, they aren’t in love (at least not now), do they definitely have feeling that go beyond physical, yes but we need to unpack the characters first before getting to the point of understanding and acting on those feelings
this isn’t a story showing the good side of fuck buddies. it’s not one sided but the two of them are currently a bad paring that are using each other for their own gain. jaeyi is selfish and the ideum is selfless, both of them mentally and physically can’t put up boundaries, it’s impossible to communicate this way
A lot of ppl were hoping for some happy story of fuck buddies to lovers when we are being shown very complicated and complex characters with deep rooted issues that affect their relationship with sex and what sex is.
