the seme is just as obsessed with the uke. imagine learning to ride bike, doing all of the shit that the uke mentioned he like in passing just for the mere chance that he could impress the uke once (if) he come home
this is like manhwa so idc the ethics or moral of it too much, but i just think you're being unneccessarily too harsh and judgy with the uke while not applying that same attitude toward the seme
if we want to judge the seme by the same standard, then he is entirely too obsessed with the uke to the point of it being borderline unhealthy and considering that he had thought the uke wasn't interested and hate him but he still persistently always go after him, that is like an absolute red flag irl cuz he doesn't understand boundaries
Here's a quick summary of the story.
So it's technically spoiler but it's more of an overview. I won't be going into details.
We have Jeongwoo our seme and Se-eun our uke. Se-un is a manhwa writer and he's written an 18+ manhwa about Jeongwoo (childhood friend and crush) and himself. He's very obsessed with Jeongwoo.
There's a lot of transitions from Se-eun "making love with" Jeongwoo, but most of these are in his head. So when it actually happens it's very jarring. You'll get used to them being together after a while, but I believe there could have been a better way for those transitions. As, in my opinion, it was terrible. <<--- As you can see I expressed that its my opinion.
Jeongwoo on the other hand has a more innocent, first crush/first love kinda thing going on. He uses it to better himself and make himself well known in his community. He's a very joyful/jovial person overall. The catch is that he's in love with our uke and he has been since he was smaller. It seems they both developed a crush on each other around the same time.
The drama only exist because the Se-eun is a very cowardly, selfish and demented? Person. <-- you don't have to agree. I'm just saying, his first that about everything is just to run away. He doesn't try, he doesn't show any sort of affection but expects Jeongwoo to love him (which he did) and show him affection while literally giving the man glares, annoyed faces, just overall uninterested vibes.
Tld: Uke is obsessed with Seme, Uke causes a lot of misunderstandings and issues (while aware of what he's doing but continue to do so anyway)
