I don’t disagree with the sexual assaults, I just don’t know about the rape part. Going by the definition of what rape is to you, I will agree with you that Dohyeok raped Suha. I just don’t find it as nauseating as the scene I saw in ch 135-136, ugh.
And I just think Jiwoon was raped by Suha because he was sleeping, I don’t remember them discussing about them being able to do that beforehand. Even if they are a couple, they really should discuss this beforehand even if they don’t take it as seriously just like how they don’t seem to take some other issues as seriously (mental health). I see there’s little to no boundaries between them, it took several tries for Suha to convince Jiwoon before escaping the house and going to Siwoo.
It was wholesome at first and then shit did a 180. I hated Dohyeok at the time, I also was upset at Suha for not biting Dohyeok’s mouth earlier, I don’t get why it takes so many minutes to realize you don’t wanna do it and then go running to the person who desperately needs help (drugged up Jiwoon).
I was half asleep as I skimmed through the pages so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong about this: Suha should’ve called someone to take care of Jiwoon, or had Dohyeok but for the sake of the plot, sure.
Then there’s the traumatized Jiwoon from fear of abandonment and two shits on top of him.
As for somnophilia kink, I’m aware of that and it does happen in real life as I have experienced it. The issue is not consent alone but more of the aftermath.
For example, my boyfriend wanted to fuck me while I was sleeping. I went up to him and decided to try it out. I initiated it, so I gave him my consent before I slept. But thing is, after what happened to me during my sleep which I had no idea of (I tend to be in a deep sleep sometimes) I just recalled feeling something cool and warm inside, then uncomfortable and in pain when I woke up. I regretted it, my lower half was in pain and I couldn’t drag myself out of bed. It’s usually not like this, yes your buttocks will be sore probably and in some pain after sex but not to this extent for me.
I didn’t want to make him feel bad about it, he’s also great at sex. I kept quiet and next day, he did the same thing to me while I slept. This time I woke up and I got upset due to the amount of pain and aches.
I told him I regretted giving my consent. He apologized and it’s also our lack of communication at fault there.
Again, the issue is not just consent, but the fact that your partner may change their mind and hate it afterwards.
It may not be straight up rape but in Jiwoon/Suha’s case, it’s rape as I don’t recall Jiwoon ever giving Suha permission regardless if they are comfy with each other and how possessive Jiwoon is to the point he might do almost anything for Suha.
The side story is way more intriguing and has more substance than the main story lol. And Dohyeok was never a rapist. He is manipulative yes but never forced anyone unlike all the other assholes in this
