THIS!!!! i liked this because of how complex and flawed they are as characters but as it progressed especially in the side stories, all i see is selfishness. And I want to believe that the author knows what they are doing, maybe they can explain that the hyung's actions are a result of being in a toxic unrequited relationship---because i can clearly see how their (ukexseme) earlier relationship and everything that happened affected the seme. But I'm not getting my hopes up, because more often than not, everything that happened is just a plot device to draw sex scenes.
Maybe I'll reread it someday when it's complete and I'll arrive at a different conclusion
exactly bruh. i thought they were learning how miscommunication or abandonment hurts them both, so to see them think they’ll get closure by rough, demeaning sex is alarming. but i hope so too, it would make sense for the hyung since he had such an unhealthy relationship before with his fwb… but i doubt the side stories will give even more context to his thought process due to that trauma. it seemed like they were maturing together so the regression is sad to see especially when it was over such a minor thing (the hyung craving dynamic sex and to see a different side of bf)
let’s hope it gets better
if you want to do a sub and dom dynamic with your partner, have a discussion before sex about the scene rather than causing genuine problems and lying. it requires a lot of trust and intimacy to get this vulnerable and forcing it is unhealthy/damaging for yall. you’ll meet your person or people to put your faith in, and always prioritize safety. have a great night everyone
