Hot take on "non zero sum" manhwa, haewon should've unalived himself

Okay so me and gang were discussing "non zero sum" manhwa. Ofcourse we were cursing the author for writing this sick bullshit and the artist for drawing this sick bullshit and shit escalated quickly where I ended up saying "haewon should've unalived himself. Atp he is walking into that living hell all by himself like what's more nightmarish than living like a fucking rape toy. Either run or kys cus running away can't be more harder than bearing with this bullshit?" And gng got all mad at me like "how can you blame the victim over here, haeyoung is clearly manipulating him, he is traumatised and all that, you would've known if it was happening to you." And we ended up arguing. It was so clearly stated in the manhwa that haewon is aware of what's happening with him under the pretext of "this is what friend do" he is aware that he is being abused and raped constantly and that haeyoung is manipulating him yet he keeps running to him.

However, now I am starting to question myself. Were my thoughts really insensitive here? (I js thought that if I was haewon, I'd actually kms, so I'm not sure about others) What do you think?
