I understand your point of view. I started reading this last week and personally, I always thought it was rape, coersion is rape in any form you know. However, what makes this different from other rape yaois like Jinx or any others is that here the rape is addressed as it is. Its not necessarily meant to be sexy and to some extent the seme does comfort the uke when things get hard although he is still forceful. Im not saying that makes it any better, rape is rape I am not trying to defend him. It is still disgusting, but what makes me tolerate it is how self aware the top is (bare minimum i know). But its refreshing. He actually takes accountability instead of moving forward with no remorse and just confessing his feelings like alot of these other bls where suddenly the top is in love and everything is fixed.There is a visible development on their relationship that is triggered by both ends enjoying each other’s companies instead of linking the only through the project and sex while they hate each other all along. Seo Dan even realises he was scared for nothing when they are done with their first time doing anal. AGAIN , that doesn’t make it better, it could’ve turned out differently and in many situations in real life it does. Point is: this is tolerable because the “rape” is not a continuous torture to the reader (imo) because you can see a development and shift in character from both the uke and top. Its not filled with unnecessary rape scenes as “fan service”, each sex scene contains a developmental change in character, either through actions or narrations that express Seo Dan’s shift in attitude. Anyways, sorry for the yap. Rape is rape, Juwon is still disgusting, but he is self aware which does not make it better, but makes it tolerable in my eyes.

So I kind of loved this story until I reread it and discovered he was actually raped every Saturday..
In my mind when I read this for the first time I thought yeah, he has a choice to say No and he was only crying because of what had happened to him before BUT after rereading this I saw it for what it was and I just couldn't accept the new picture I got, that he actually was mentally unstable to say the word "no".
You can agree or disagree but after reading it twice his crying is a sign of him needing help, real help and his boss KNEW IT FROM THE BEGINNING OTHERWISE HE WOULD NEVER DARE TO ASK HIM TO SLEEP WITH HIM!
Remember when he said at the beginning he knew what a shitty position the uke was in and after his boss interviewed him he could see how easy it would be to manipulate the uke to do the fuck he wanted. I was in love with that bossy attitude and the sexy smirk, now I'm only disgusted after hearing him admit it all
