They were not toxic at all, Seung-chan was literally worried about about Hye-sung because he’s seen him get hurt before and didn’t want him to get hurt anymore. And did you completely miss the part where Hye-sung said Seung-chan has never hurt him before?
welp they are happy and isn’t that what matters? i personally don’t think that was toxic at all.... in this case, he actually saved him from abuse. i’m a little confused. maybe you are referring to his possessive side but, in the end hye-sung loves him, and likes that side of him so what’s the problem right? whether he was possessive or “toxic” if hye-sung never had a problem with it, i think it’s fine. this was literally cute and fluffy and they are happy. i just feel like your assuming or talking for the characters. And hye-sung clearly mentions when they first met he even acted like he was an sex-addict just so he can get seung-chan’s attention. so... all along hye-sung’s been wanting seung-chan since day one. never was it seung-chan who forced or did it with no consent. hopefully that clears things out for you a bit <3
Im sorry but a person who gets abused is depressed and suicidal is not a functional adult that is someone who needs help from someone and a shoulder to lean on and nothing wrong with being codependent either. And if you ever been around someone suicidal or abused you would also want to know where they are at all times so you know they are safe, as u have seen he got beat up and rapped when Seung-chan wasn't around so his fears are completely justified.
Well, this was something.
The main couple was low-key toxic too. They quickly slipped into an uncomfortable codependency, and the Seung-chan was constantly trying to control Hye-sung's actions, saying things like, "don't go anywhere without telling me", etc, many many times. Red flagzzzzz. Hye-sung was a perfectly functional adult before Seung-chan came into his life; he's capable of doing things without Seung-chan's help or permission. Seung-chan was also a bit forceful with sex at times and then it just gets hand-waved during or after, even though Hye-sung didn't seem like he wanted it or consented to it at first. I don't know, but I wish the author had written them to actually be as sweet and fluffy as most people here seem to think they are (but aren't really).
That said, I really liked the art, and especially the character design of Seung-chan. It was different than most art I've seen in some way I can't quite put into words.
