I know I'm prolly gonna get ppl mad for stating this opinion. But i think SM kind of admired the sergeant, and probably hope he would be the one to save him but instead he casually watched the abuse. And yeah sergeant never touched him, he was the one who joke about his boobs, and felt offended when SM disobeyed.
He's the bystander, and someone with high power that caused other to think it's okay to violated SM.
I have a theory SM felt some kind of betrayal when sergeant just watch him being raped, though sergeant kind of stopped those two men who used magazine while using SM as onahole.
And people said there's no sexualization in rape scene on this manhwa, I disagree somehow, SM suck him off, clean him, injected something to him probably to relax the sergeant's body, feed him, and SM was even have hesitation to kill sergeant, he was panicking when sergeant got hurt, imagining the image of sergeant dead body stressed him, etc. Idk why he's panicking even though he said after killing him he would kill himself, and he said that he prepared to throw the body, but ig he still has guilt and know that what he's doing is actually wrong.
The sex scenes at first is a form of torture, but as the chapter goes on, it looks sexually appealing (due to sergeant's acting of initiating the cow girl position, and SM jerk him off)
I can see the potential of stockholm syndrome for the both of them lol
Saw this come across my TikTok and was like ouuu I remember that bizarre story. So I decided to reread it again and just like the 1st time I still don't understand why he went after the sergeant and not the men who committed those terrible acts. The sergeant was wrong for overlooking the abuse but he didn't touch him. But he stated it started with him so I'm unsure what exactly the Sergeant did. He didn't touch him in the shower, he didn't rape him 1st cause the 1st guy who did had moles on his face just like the same asshole who was looking at the porno magazine. The sergeant was in bed listening. So if the sergeant did assault I wish we could've saw it.
I wish the author didn't leave it out so we could've had a better understanding. I do understand that the sergeant could've stop it cause he is the sergeant but he didn't I wonder why not. I also know he verbal abuse him too. Also I wouldn't mind a part 2 where the sergeant finally recovers after years and is living a good happy comfortable life and the sheep guy comes back. But this time he gets everyone else who assaulted him. And instead of killing the Sergeant he just makes him depend on him, manipulate and make him fall in love with him creating Stockholm syndrome. Is it twisted? Yes but I'll enjoy seeing it.
