so everyone has been divided on whether this is rape or not, and I could be attacked for this (and I completely understand, but like please take what I say with a grain of salt) but someone mentioned this might be dub-con? It's hard to understand the situation since the characters are meant to be complex (since they're struggling with mental illness, trauma, etc.) and so it's hard to understand whether Seo-An was fine with it, possibly taken off guard; or he just gave in. This is really tricky and we might just have to see how it plays out. But for the most part, I think Woowon might come to his senses later on (hoping that's soon) and will take accountability towards it. I can see it going in that direction (I've seen others say that it won't, but imo it doesn't really fit Woowon has a character to not acknowledge and own up to it. however, I kinda see why others do say the latter.) Honestly, I was only up to chapter 40 and I'm upset I came to the comments finding about rape. In nearly all the BLs I've read all include some form of SA or rape . But that's pretty much it. Glad to see nobody is pulling the "but he never said no" like okay, but he never said yes either?? like what.
